   Once you have paid the graduation fee, the Finance and Business Services office will assess your account to determine your financial obligations and advise you of your status, using the email address on your graduation registration form.
   
   You are not required to visit the Finance Department for financial clearance, as all communication will be done via email or telephone. Please ensure to read your email and follow the instructions.
   
   
5. If you are financially cleared of all obligations, (that is, tuition fee, boarding fee, Sponsor/ Donor fee,  library fee and  graduation fee) the Finance and Business Services office will:

2. If you or your sponsor (including Students’ Loan Bureau ) has outstanding fees to pay, you will not be cleared for graduation and will be required to visit the Students' Portal to view the details of your liability and so inform your sponsor (where applicable), to settle promptly.
