IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL STUDENTS 

 

Due dates

If you do not take up one of the options mentioned above by the payment due date you will be regarded as a “no show” for residence purposes and your room will be allocated to a student on the waiting list. You will thus lose your place in residence and the University will have little chance of assisting you other than to suggest that you move into digs. If you have problems please contact us before 18 January 2019 as we will do whatever we can to assist you in retaining your place in residence but after that date there is little we can do.

Please note: the deposit slip MUST show a reference number and this MUST be the student number.

Students are discouraged from making large cash deposits at the University Cashier. Cash deposits exceeding R5,000 must be made at the First National Bank, Grahamstown (branch code 21 07 17), account number 6214 550 4553. Please ensure that the student number (which is the only reference number to be used) is clearly visible as beneficiary reference on the deposit slip, which must be submitted to the Student Fees office, or faxed to (046) 603 7019/ Email: [email protected].

 

 

4. Holders of recognised bursaries or scholar­ships including Rhodes University scholarships and merit awards may offset their bursary/scholarship against the liability for the Initial Fee Payment required prior to registration, but you must inform the University that you are doing so before 18 January 2019.

 

 

1. Fee remissions, concessions and special ar­rangements (full-time students only)

Where a parent has more than one child at­tending the University at the same time, as full‑time students, an application may be made to the Director of Finance in the year in which it applies for a remission of 30% of the normal tuition fees for each child after the first. The Council may also make any conces­sion or special arrangement regarding the amount of fees paid by a student, or the pay­ment of fees, at its discretion.

 

 

1.  Academic Merit Award Scheme (SA students only)

Special merit awards are automatically made by the University to eligible students enroll­ing for the first time for an undergraduate de­gree. The awards, ranging from R32 900 to Full tuition fee, are based on the final National Senior Certificate exami­nation results. The awards do not cover the DHET Fee Adjustment Grant so the grant should be applied for, if applicable. Should the student withdraw from Rhodes University during the academic year, the merit award will be reduced on a pro rata basis. In order to qualify for one of these awards a student would have to obtain at least 47 admission points in the National Senior Certificate examination. Please note that International Students are not eligible for merit awards.

 

 

 

 

 

7.       Holders of recognised scholarships/bursaries/ loans

Fees due to the University are a first charge on any scholarship, bursary or loan granted by the University, or paid to the University from other sources, for a student. If the total amount paid exceeds the fees pay­able, the student may draw the balance on condition that the Bursar has given written permission.­

Please note that it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that bursary donors make pay­ments timeously and in accordance with the University regulations. Students who hold full bursaries are reminded that they will require funds on arrival at the University for the purchasing of books etc., as it is not University policy to make loans or advances against bursaries prior to the funds being re­ceived.

 

1. Oppidan fee (for clarity please refer http://www.ru.ac.za/oppidan/faq/)                                      

Note that there is a compulsory Oppidan fee of R300.00.

 

1. Caution

Please ensure that payments made to the Uni­versity are done only by Direct Deposits or Internet Transfers to the University bank account. Payments made by way of cheques made payable to “Rhodes University” marked “Not transfer­able” will attract a clearance charge of R195 and are strongly discouraged. No responsibility is accepted for bank notes or other forms of remittances missing from letters addressed to the University or to members of the University using its address.

 

1. External Loans

Please note it is the responsibility of students negotiating loans with financial or other institutions to en­sure that all payments are made to the Univer­sity by the dates specified above.

The Initial Fee Payment may NOT be reduced by virtue of a student having negotiated a loan with a financial or other institution.

Monies once paid into a student account will not be refunded unless all fees have been paid and a credit balance is reflected on the account irrespective of any bursaries held or meal refunds due to the student.

 

1. Penalties for non‑compliance

The University will not issue certificates of any description to students whose fees are in arrears.

 

12. Unpaid accounts

Unpaid accounts where no prior agreed arrangement has been made and met are subject to an interest charge at the rate of 0.75% per month on amounts in arrears.

 

1. Payments made to students

Account refunds or payments to students will be made via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Credit balance refunds will only be made upon receipt of a written application from the person/organisation responsible for paying the account, supported by a certified copy of the bank account details into which the funds are to be deposited.

      

15. Notice of withdrawal – deregistration from Rhodes as well as withdrawing from residence

All students, both postgraduate and undergraduate, or their parents or guardians must give notice of intention to discontinue attendance, in writing, to the Registrar. A separate letter requesting a refund of any monies due must be sent to the Director of Finance.

• Any student who has registered for a course of study and who, for any reason leaves during the year is liable for a pro-rata fee up to the date of cancellation for tuition and or residence fees, the basis of calculation will be on 248 days for the year.
• Any student who withdraws their application for tuition or residence, before registration will be liable for a cancellation fee of 10% if less than one month’s notice is given or 2.5% if longer.
• In the case of an early withdrawal from Residence, for any reason, other than immediate family bereavement, medical illness or academic exclusion, a cancellation fee of two months Residence Fee will be levied over and above the fee calculation for the period of residence accommodation. A penalty will not be charged if a provisional residence booking is cancelled prior to the Initial Fee (IF) deadline of 18 January 2019.

 

 

 

 

In terms of Section 17 of the CPA it states;

“(3) a service provider may charge a reasonable fee for cancellation.

(4) regard must be had to the nature of the service, the length of notice to cancellation, the reasonable potential to find an alternative consumer (in our case this would be a student) and the general practice of the relevant industry (in our case, other universities)”

 

 

TUITION FEES

Block fees

The regulations of the various faculties pre­scribe the number of courses full‑time students are normally expected to take in each year of their curriculum.

Unless otherwise stated, the annual block fees include tuition fees for classes and laboratories, fees for ordinary University examinations and library fees for the normal number of courses. Full‑time students taking fewer than the nor­mal number of courses in any given year, will still be liable for the full block fee.

Additional courses

Subject to the regulations of the various Facult­ies, undergraduate students may take in any year one course more than the normal number prescribed for that year of their curriculum without extra charge. Full‑time postgraduate students may take in any year one undergradu­ate course free of charge, provided that they have obtained the prior approval of their head of department and of the Dean of the Faculty, and provided also that a postgraduate student in Law may take first year courses in any one language subject in any year without extra charge. The undergraduate course becomes payable separately once deregistered from full-time course.

 

Single course fees

Students doing one course towards their degree must be registered as full-time, but will be charged the single course fee.

RESIDENCE FEES – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

1. Residence fees differ because some residences have better facilities and/or are desirably located.

 

1. Students’ accommodation is based on single rooms. Adjustments are made in fees where students change residences. All residence fees are levied at the full rate for a single room in the appropriate residence at the beginning of the year. Where, for University convenience, students are permitted to share accommodation a 25% discount of the lodging fees may be claimed by the student for the period that the room was shared and per term. Application for the rebate must be made to the Administrative Assistant: Student Accommodation in the Residential Operations Division at the end of each term. Claims for rebate which have not been lodged by the end of the following term will be disallowed. For the purpose of discounts and adjustments the residence year is taken as 248 days (PG Residences 340 days). A student does not have the right to claim an allowance for sharing a room where single accommodation in the residence is available.

 

1. No charge is made for linen supplied or for laundry services. Students must provide their own towels and toilet soap.

 

1. No deduction is made from residence fees if a student is away from residence because of illness, or for any other reason, other than where the prescribed course of study required such absence. (certificates to this effect must be obtained from the relevant academic Head of Department and submitted to the Residential Operations Division).

 

3010. Unbooked meals will be refunded to students’ fee accounts at the end of each semester. Refunds will be limited to a maximum of R2,124 per semester for those in undergraduate residences and R3010.00 per semester for those in postgraduate residences.

 

1. Accommodation for students in undergraduate residences is available for a specific fee during the April vacation periods. No vacation accommodation is offered during the mid-year recess or the December/January period.

 

1. Students who have withdrawn from residence must vacate their rooms within 24 hours of having given such notification to the University.

 

Residence fee remissions

Applications for residence fee remissions must be made to the Deputy Director: Residential Operations. Residence fee remissions will only be considered in cases of family emergencies (e.g.: immediate family bereavement, illness of student, etc.).
