Students enrolled through UHSA’s agency partners only
Option 1: Full Fee Payment
It is strongly advised that fees be paid in full before the academic term start date. This ensures there are no complications upon enrolment, and that the only financial consideration for the academic year is living costs.
Option 2: Two Instalments
Alternatively, fees can be paid for in two installments:
- The first installment must be paid to confirm placement before the start date of the academic term.
- The remaining tuition balance will be due within three months after the academic term starts. Specific deadlines will be provided in the issued invoice:
- January for September starters
- April for January starters
- August for May starters
Late Payment Policy
Students who fail to pay by the due date risk interruptions in their education, including loss of access to classes, the student portal, exams, and grades. A late registration fee will also be applied, as detailed in the student manual.
