Incomplete applications will not be considered. The facility must be approved prior to registration.

In the event of any instalment being dishonoured, the debit order facility may be cancelled by the University, in which event the conditions contained in paragraph 1 above will apply and fees must be paid in full by 31 May. All bank charges will be for the student’s account.

The University may, at the discretion of the Registrar (Finance) decline to make this facility available to any student. This option is not available to international students.
