Student Related Payments
Once you pay your Intent to Register Fee, you matriculate (become enrolled into Northrise University).
Upon matriculation, you are issued with a Student ID. Your Student ID uniquely identifies you as as a bonafide Northrise student. After matriculation, an incoming student pays:
- Initial Tuition Deposit: This is the first installment toward Tuition. Amount to be paid is reflected on a Preliminary Invoice for Incoming New Students.
- Subsequent Tuition Fees: Based on the Payment Plan chosen, a student continues to make subsequent Tuition payments to settle Tuition balance.
Note: All Tuition payments for any student with an ID are made into a separate Tuition Account and referenced differently. If you have been issued with a Student ID (Matriculated), please follow the payment instructions as given under Returning Students.
Current Students
All students (including newly matriculated students) must adhere to the following guidelines when making a payment.
Types of Student Payments
There are several types of payments students make in the course of an academic journey at Northrise. Please refer to the Valid Fee Codes document linked below for the various types of fees and the respective Fee Codes.
Referencing Student Payment
All tuition payments must be correctly referenced because only payments with valid references can be successfully deposited and successfully accredited to a Student's Tuition Account.
When referencing a student payment, one must combine the fee code, Student ID, and study group. A Fee Code is prefixed to the ID and the Study Group is postfixed to the Fee Code and Student ID to create a valid reference. Below is an example of a valid reference using the stated conversion.
To always correctly reference your payment, please refer to the Fee Codes for your student payments.
CAUTION: If a student wrongly references a payment by using another student ID when entering a reference, the payment will be accepted and automatically credited into that other student’s Tuition Account. If this happens and a student wishes to reverse this transaction, a Wrong Reference Penalty Fee of K250.00 is charged.
Please double check your STUDENT ID to ensure it is correct before depositing any payment.
