Students receiving financial aid (South African students only)

  • In cases where financial aid (bursary/loans) is received and covers all fees for the academic year, the amount payable in advance will be reduced by the amount of the financial aid.
  • In cases where the financial aid (bursary/loan) awarded to a student does not cover all the fees for the year, the prepayment as indicated above remains payable five (5) working days prior to registration.
  • Proof of bursaries/loans must be faxed to +27 51 401 3579 or emailed to [email protected] five (5) working days prior to registration.
  • The original proof of bursary/loan must be presented upon registration.
  • The amount payable in advance must be reflected as a credit balance on the student’s tuition fees account before the student will be allowed to continue with registration.
  • The attention of bursary holders is drawn to the fact that it is their responsibility to ensure that the bursary donors make payments timely and in accordance with university regulations.
  • Bursars have to provide their sponsors with details of their accounts.
  • If a sponsor does not pay a student’s account on time, interest will be charged and debited to the account, and the student will be responsible for the payment of such interest.
