Outstanding fees

Students with outstanding fees

Students who have outstanding fees are still welcome to attend their graduation ceremony. The sheath received at the ceremony will not contain the official graduation documents. Instead, it will include a reminder to settle the outstanding balance on the student account. Graduation documents will be issued as soon as the account has been paid in full.

Students with outstanding balances funded by NSFAS

• Students funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) who still have an outstanding balance are welcome to attend their graduation ceremony. The sheath received at the ceremony will only contain their academic record. The official degree certificate will be issued once NSFAS has settled the full outstanding amount.
• NSFAS-funded students with outstanding fees that remain the student's responsibility (additional fees not covered by NSFAS) may also attend their graduation ceremony. The sheath they receive at the ceremony will not include the official graduation documents. Instead, it will contain a reminder to settle the outstanding balance on their student account. Graduation documents will be issued once the account has been paid in full.   

Payment deadline

To ensure that students receive their graduation documents at the ceremony, please note that all outstanding amounts must be settled by end of business on Friday, 13 March 2026.
