7. The flexibility of semesterization allows students to take a minimum of nine (9) credits per semester; thereby giving them the freedom to meet their financial obliga- tions to the University, based on affordabil- ity. 8. Irrespective of the number of modules selected, students are required to pay in full ( 100% ) for all modules selected, as well as clear any outstanding balance pre- viously owed to the University. 9. The number of modules selected can be as low as 9 credits or as high as 21 credits; and the number of modules selected should be based on the student's ability to pay. 10. This means that the 100% fee payment requirement will vary from student to stu- dent depending on the number of mod- ules that are selected. 11. The University may decide to offer a pay- ment plan to students. If offered, all stu- dents who do not pay 100% of fees for modules selected by the Census Date, would default to the University’s Stan- dard Payment Plan for that semester and would be subjected to all terms and conditions of the plan. A N C I L L A R Y F E E S 1. Ancillary fees are applicable even if a student registers for one semester of the academic year. 2. Students, who are accepted to begin school in the January cohort, are required to pay ancillary fees in their first semester (January); as well as at the start of the next academic year (August). Even though both periods fall within one (1) calendar year, they span two (2) academic years. 3. Ancillary fees are non-refundable and would only be refunded, if the University withdraws the offer to the student or if the course of study to which the student has applied has been cancelled.
