FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CATEGORIES THAT PAY INTERNATIONAL FEES

• International Students who are married (including same sex marriages) to SA Citizens or Permanent Residents

– pay international fees until they themselves have obtained SA citizenship or permanent residency

• International Students who are in life partnerships with SA Citizens or Per-

manent Residents – pay international fees until they themselves have obtained SA Citizenship or permanent residency

• International Students who pay SA taxes (e.g. contract workers or tem-

porary residents) - The criterion of paying tax in South Africa does not change your immigration status and as such it is not sufficient for a reduction in international fees

• International Students who pay SADC

Taxes – paying tax in a SADC country does not change your immigration status and as such it is not a sufficient condition for exemption from international fees • SA & SADC Temporary Residents – If there is an expiry visa date and if they are required to renew residence status periodically, then such individuals are not permanent residents of the country and do not qualify to pay local fees

• SA Permanent Resident Applicants under Review (including those mar-

ried to SA resident / citizen) – there is no guarantee that permanent residence status will be granted. Until such status is granted, International

Fees apply. Note that immigration status at registration determines the annual fees

• International Students who are children of South African Citizens or

Permanent Residents - pay international fees until they themselves have obtained SA citizenship or permanent residency

If you are granted permanent residence status during the course of your year of study, your citizenship details must be updated at the International Students Office. However, your fees paid at the beginning of the year will not be refunded or amended. The new fees will only apply in the next academic year.

For international students 75% of the annual tuition fees, related costs and on campus accommodation fee is payable prior to registration or must have proof of sponsorship. The remaining 25% of the fees must be paid by 31 March. • Students must ensure that payment needs to be made at least ten

working days before registration can take place • Once the money is clear in our bank, and reflecting on the Fee account, the student may proceed to the

International Students Office for completion of registration

FEE STRUCTURE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
