James Morrison Academy of Music @ UniSA
As the JMA is in partnership with UniSA, students of the JMA are enrolled as full registered students of UniSA. This means being able to access all the resources of UniSA in the same way as students attending any of their other campuses, including student support services.
The difference for JMA students is that they attend our dedicated Mount Gambier campus and all teaching is delivered by JMA staff.
Another benefit of the JMA being a partner of UniSA is being able to apply for HECS-HELP to cover your tuition fees.
What is HECS and HELP?
As a student enrolled at UniSA and attending the JM Academy, you have what is known as a 'Commonwealth Supported Place'. This means that the Federal Government provide a large part of your course fee without charge to you. Apart from this assistance, there is a 'Student Contribution' to be paid.
HECS-HELP is a student loan available to eligible students enrolled in Commonwealth supported places to fund their student contribution. (Generally only Australian citizens are eligible).
HELP stands for Higher Education Loan Program.
HELP was previously known as HECS, which stands for Higher Education Contribution Scheme.
If you receive a HECS-HELP loan, the Australian Government pays your student contribution fee directly to UniSA on your behalf.
