The following policies and procedures are applicable to all students who officially register for Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Certificate, Short Course, and Diploma programmes at the University of Cape Town (UCT).

The Institute reserves the right to change fees without prior notice. However, fee changes are subject to approval by the Governing Council and we will update it ASAP.

Overview

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 academic offerings across the university.

The all-inclusive course-based fee structures published in Section 12 of the fees handbook, together with the relevant faculty handbook, will enable students to accurately calculate the cost of their academic studies at UCT.

The faculty handbook will show which courses can be taken and the relevant course code. Students can use this code to look up the all-inclusive cost of the course in the fees handbook. The sum of these costs will give the total cost for the set of chosen courses as there are no levies or additional academic charges.

Faculty handbooks can be obtained from the relevant faculty office and this information is also available on the handbooks page.

Since your fees account is based on your academic load, it is your responsibility to check your enrolment for courses in the current year.

You can download the fees handbook from the right-hand column.

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.
