FEES AND CHARGES FOR 2015
Web Page www.ru.ac.za/fees
(1) GENERAL INFORMATION
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.
Liability for fees
Liability for all fees begins as soon as completed
application forms are submitted to the University and
the student is accepted. The signing of the application
form establishes the legal liability of the student and
his/her other funder for the payment of all fees as determined by the Council. This can vary according to
the student's circumstances. These fees are published in
the annual Rhodes University Calendar, and are
available on the WEB. In any discussions or
negotiations about fees, it will be assumed that a
student and his/her other funder have made themselves
aware of the provisions of this section and of the
equivalent fees schedule. While the University
attempts to keep fees as low as possible, student fees
usually increase annually by approximately 10% per
annum. Ignorance of the fees payable does not provide
grounds for avoiding liability for any fees due and
payable.
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 R31 277 to Full tuition fee, are based on the
final National Senior Certificate examination results.
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 49 admission points in the National Senior
Certificate examination. Please note that foreign
students are not eligible for merit awards.
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.
Alteration of fees
The University Council reserves the right to alter all
fees payable to the University, or to impose a fees
surcharge if circumstances require it. In the case of an
alteration of fees or the imposition of a fees surcharge,
notice will be sent to all registered students.
Non-receipt of such a notice does not provide grounds
for avoiding liability for the contents of the notice.
Arrears
Any student whose fees are not paid by the due dates
or who has outstanding fines and/or other accounts due
may be excluded from attendance at classes or from
residence unless satisfactory arrangements have been
made with the Director of Finance for the payment of
his/her account. Furthermore, he or she may not be
accepted as a candidate for University examinations. A
statement signed by the Director of Finance is full,
final and conclusive evidence of fees payable and the
state of a student's account. The University will not
issue certificates of any description to students who are
in arrears with the payment of any fees, fines, or any
other accounts.
Oppidan fee
R155
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 R160 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.
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%

RESIDENCE FEES – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
a. Residence fees differ because some residences have better facilities and/or are desirably located.
b. 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 240 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.
c. No charge is made for linen supplied or for laundry services. Students must provide their own towels and toilet soap.
d. 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).
e. Unbooked meals will be refunded to students’ fee accounts at the end of each semester. Refunds will be limited to a
maximum of R1,670.00 per semester for those in undergraduate residences and R2,370.00 per semester for those in
postgraduate residences.
f. Accommodation for students in undergraduate residences is available for a specific fee during the April and September
vacation periods. No vacation accommodation is offered during the mid-year recess or the December/January period.
g. 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.).
