Students are urged to pursue the number of modules based on affordability based on the flexibility of semesterization. Where students opt to take a payment plan, it is expected that they will honour their financial obligations as stipulated in the payment plan, in order to avoid arrears.

A student will be deemed to be in arrears if:

• • fees from previous years remain unpaid (such a student will not normally be allowed to register).
  • an expected payment is not received on or before the due date.
  • any late fees or miscellaneous fees are unpaid.
• Students who are not registered will be de-listed.
• Students whose payments are late may be charged a late fee.
• Students who are in arrears will be blocked from viewing grades and enrolling in subsequent semesters.
• Provisionally enrolled students who utilize the University’s services by attending classes but fail to complete their registration by the stipulated date, will NOT be allowed to sit exams.
• Under such circumstances, the students’ modules and invoice will be removed and s/he will be charged an Incomplete Registration Fee (IRF) of 50% of the total tuition fee for which full payment is expected in order to begin module selection for the next semester.
• The names of the students who fail to settle outstanding payments may be published in the local newspaper, sent to the Credit Bureau, and to the external debt collector.
• Before a student account is transferred to any of the medium stated above, reminder and demand notices will be sent using the email and address you have provided.
• Once a student account has been transferred to the external debt collector, an 18% service charge for the collector will be applied to students account, as such we urge all students to settle promptly.
• Students who are in arrears will not be afforded normal student privileges, including access to the library / medical services etc.
• Students are being reminded to ensure that they update their contact information on the system, so that they can receive notices, and any communication from the University.
