Penalties for non payment

Students are required to meet all due dates of payment whether these are annual payments or instalments. Students whose accounts are not fully paid by the due dates will be subject to debt management procedures below:-

STAGE 1

Late fee charges of 3% will be added to a student’s account. This charge will be applied on any outstanding balance immediately after each payment deadline. By concession, the payment deadline is 12 days after all due dates detailed above.

Late fee charges plus the outstanding balance are due for payment immediately after notification.

STAGE 2

Sanctions (removal of IT and Library facilities) may be applied to any account with an overdue balance.

STAGE 3

The third stage following non-payment of fees and charges is temporary suspension from the course/programme. Any student that is temporarily suspended will not be permitted to attend lectures/classes or be in receipt of supervision or tutoring from academic staff. The appropriate College manager will be informed of this action.
