Fee structure for 2008

St. Mark's College has an annual fee structure which will provide accommodation from the beginning of Orientation Week in 2008, from Sunday, 24th February to the beginning of the mid-year vacation 5th July and then from the end of the mid-year vacation 27/7 to the end of the academic year in November, including all swot vac and examinations periods  for Uni of Adelaide students 22/11; for Uni of SA/Flinders Uni students; 29/11. This means that rooms will not have to be packed up, except in the three week July vacation, and students will be able to come and go during the April and September vacation periods (4 weeks in total) at no further charge. There will be no conferences held during April and September vacations, thus minimizing disruption to study and residence schedules.

Each room has a private telephone with voice mail. All phones are also connected internally so students can contact each other by phone at no cost and administration can easily contact each student individually or by broadcasts. External calls are at the student's own expense.

The annual fee will include in each student room a Sun computer, if requested, connected to a central server with access in a central computer room for laser printing and scanning facilities, providing internal and external email and internet access, as well as word processing, paper, all at no additional cost. There may be a minimal charge in 2008 for internet usage.  There is also an extensive library with approximately 20,000 books, which is an excellent additional study area.

Wireless access is available from the College courtyard, the Library and Downer House.
