Ans.: No. Students are not registered until they have completed the 10-step process online. Ques. 34 Will I be allowed to register for a new academic year with a balance outstanding? Ans.: No. All outstanding balances must be settled before a student is given financial clearance for a new academic year. Furthermore, the University reserves the right to block a student’s account for non-payment of fees. Ques. 35 Will I be allowed to register with a Commitment Letter from a sponsor? Ans.: Yes. Once the letter is approved by the Sponsorship Unit, the student will be allowed to register provided the commitment covers the minimum requirement for financial clearance; but s/he must ensure that the sponsor settles the balance on time. Ques. 36: If I receive exemption for a certain number of modules, will there be a reduction in my tuition fees? Ans.: No. Students are not entitled to a reduction in their fees if they have received exemptions. Ques. 37: Why do we pay an Enrolment Commitment Fee (ECF)? Ans.: Payment of the ECF is an indication of the student’s commitment to pursue studies for a given semester and therefore allows the student to begin the enrolment (module selection) process. In the first semester (only) of each academic year, the ECF represents a contribution towards the ancillary charges of your school fee. It is mandatory and non-refundable. In two subsequent semesters it is a initial deposit on total tuition fees. Ques. 38: If my Identification card is lost what should be done to get another one? Ans.: Report the lost card immediately to the Safety and Security Department and pay for a replacement at Paymaster or the cashier, UTech, Ja. Ques. 39: If I already have an insurance/health card, am I still required to pay the amount which is on the “Fee Breakdown”? Ans.: Yes. All students must pay the health insurance fee even if they are covered under another health plan.
