FEES

A registered student (or legal guardian) is personally liable for all tuition andaccommodation fees, notwithstanding any pledges of support or bursary that they mayhave received.

It should be noted that the contract which forms part of the application form foradmission to the University of Cape Town and which to that end was signed by thestudent and/or their legal guardian, legally binds those parties to pay the full tuition andaccommodation fees for a particular year of registration as determined by the University.

This liability is not affected nor reduced through ignorance on the part of thestudent/guardian regarding the rules and regulations of the University of Cape Town orof the validity of his/her registration in terms of the said rules and regulations.

Since a students fee account is based on his/her academic record and accommodation

choices, it is their responsibility to verify the correctness of this information.

2. ACADEMIC FEES

All students from outside South Africa, including students from SADC countries, should

also refer to fees for international students in Section 5 of this handbook, pages18 - 25.

The University of Cape Town operates on a course-based fee structure inclusive of all add-ons. Thus, the dictum that the price you see is the price you pay applies to all academicofferings across the University.

Please note that residence, catering and miscellaneous fees such as subscriptions to clubs andsocieties are itemised and charged separately on the student fee account.

The Universitys all inclusive course-based fee structures published in Section 12 of thisbooklet, together with the relevant Faculty handbook, will enable students to accuratelycalculate the cost of their academic studies at UCT in 2015.

The Faculty handbook will indicate the courses that can be taken in pursuing a qualificationand the relevant course code. Use this code to look up the all-inclusive cost of the course inthis booklet. The sum of these costs will give you the total cost for the set of chosen courses asthere are no levies or additional academic charges.

Faculty handbooks containing the curriculum for each qualification can be obtained from therelevant faculty office and this information is also available on the UCT web site:https://www.uct.ac.za/apply/handbooks.

Since a students fees account is based on his/her academic load, it is the students

responsibility to verify the correctness of his/her enrolment for courses in the current

year.

In order to assist first time applicants, the table below lists fees for typical first-yearundergraduate degrees for South African applicants. It will give you an idea of what the feesare likely to be. They may vary a bit depending on actual choice of courses
