University of Cape Town UCT Fees Structure

Student fees are broken down as follows:

1. Application fees
2. Acceptance deposit
3. Tuition fees
4. Accommodation fees

Miscellaneous fees and levies Various charges such as society subscriptions, library fines, traffic fines, student health charges, residence damage costs and emergency loans may be debited to a student’s fees account if they were not settled in the course of the year.

Such charges often appear on accounts late in the year, so it is important to check for these charges before the year-end to ensure acceptance to the next academic year or an invitation to graduate.
InterestThe university charges monthly interest on outstanding balances at 1%. Given that the final fee payment is due on 30 June, interest is charged on 31 July and at the end of each succeeding month.
