  • Continuing/current students, i.e. students in Semester 2 and subsequent Semesters and not under any form of sponsorships;
  • Second fees installment;
  • Where students have strong justifications of extreme financial hardship and difficulty in meeting payment terms outlined in their billing information.

• Period of Extension
  An extension of up to 2 weeks from due date for payment of fees may be granted, after considering the submitted applications and establishing valid grounds for extension. Valid grounds for extension are established when students are able to demonstrate that exceptional and abnormal circumstances exist and that all sources of obtaining financial support to pay fees have been exhausted.  Other factors that will be taken into consideration may include:
  • the ability to repay existing/future fees owing;
  • students’ progress in course/programme;
  • deferral and payment records.
• Failure to Comply to the Period of Extension Granted
  Students who fail to pay fees by the agreed deadline will be de-enrolled immediately from their semester after the date of extension had lapsed.
