Bank deposits
This is the most common payment method among learners at the institution. The institution banks with First National Bank (FNB) and ABSA Bank. Here are important steps to take when using this option.
- One must have a student number when making a bank deposit.
- You must specify the category of payment you intend to submit to the university — for instance, study fees, exam fees, library charges, or exemption fees.
- Make sure to fill out your deposit slip accurately. Provide your 8-digit student number, and if the student number has 7 digits only, the entry must start with 0 as the first digit of the student number.
- Validate the information you have provided in the deposit slip before depositing the fees.
- Other than weekends, paid fees will be allocated within 2-10 working days if all the details on the deposit slip have been properly entered.
- It is worth noting that the bank will not process your deposit should you provide any inaccurate details. This may amount to unnecessary delays, and the university will not be held liable for your mistake.
