1. PAYMENT OF TUITION FEES

Fees are determined by the University Council on an annual basis and subject to revision
without prior notice.

1.1 Tuition Fees payable to the Institution

At the time of registering, students undertake to pay all fees due on time and in terms of the
rules of the University. Students are advised to familiarize themselves with the Fees Payable
to the University section in the University General Prospectus.

1.1.1 Minimum Initial Payment (MIP)

Before any student is permitted to register at the University, the University requires such a
student to pay a Minimum Initial Payment (MIP) of R3500.00 prior to registration. This
amount will be credited to the student’s account.

1.1.2 Bursary/Student Loans/NSFAS

All students who have been allocated a student bursary/NSFAS loan must produce a copy of
the Bursar’s letter to the Student Fees Section prior to registration to clear the relevant
account and enable registration.

NSFAS applications are done directly to NSFAS by logging in to www.nsfas.org.za. VERY

IMPORTANTLY, please ensure that you apply for your funding through NSFAS before their
closing date. The University of Fort Hare does not administer NSFAS applications.

Branch Code: 050119

Account Number: 28 210 1357

Swift Code: SBZAZAJJ

for non-SADC countries or international students is payable to the institution. Payment of
R1500.00 foreign levy, for SADC countries international students, is payable to the institution.

b) will not receive examination results;
c) will not be allowed into residences;
d) will be charged interest on outstanding accounts; and
e) will be handed over to a debt collection agency for collection.

2. REGISTRATION PROCESSES
For 2024, all faculties will be registering via Online registration.

At the University of Fort Hare, both semesters are registered during the Jan/Feb registration
cycle. Please note that once this registration cycle is closed, you cannot register later in the
year. That is why it is important for all students to check and verify that their qualification and
module details have been captured accurately in the “Proof of Registration Form” available
on each student’s IENABLER.

3. RESIDENCE REGISTRATION
3.1 Residence Students

4
 UFH 2023
registration
All residence registration is done online at the University of Fort Hare.

4. ISSUING OF STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS

Once registered, students proceed to the Student Card Section where they will be issued with
a “Student Identity Card” to reflect their student number, name, qualification and residence
details (where applicable).

5. MASTERS AND PHD STUDENTS REGISTRATION

Masters and PhD students’ registration, due to the lengthy process of their selection and the
late registration closing date afforded them, may register up to the 31st of March 2024.

• Importantly, Online Registration for quotas that are filled may be closed earlier than
this date as determined by space availability and the university’s discretion of
enrolment quotas. It is, therefore, vital that applicants follow registration processes
earlier because this is highly competitive.

6. ORIENTATION PROGRAMME FOR 2024

The orientation programme assists you to make choices for your educational opportunities
and initiate you to the intellectual, cultural and social climate of the institution. Should you
need any other information, please contact the Student Affairs Division on (040) 602 2430 /
