Stellenbosch University says it will urgently consider possible discounts on accommodation fees as many students remain in the dark over when they will return to campuses.
Rector and Vice-Chancellor Professor Wim de Villiers said arrangements would be announced within the next week.
“The payment cycle for study and accommodation fees determines that 75% of the total amount is due at the end of May every year. The final payment is due in September,” he said. He said alternative payment arrangements would be applicable to 2020 only, and all fees would be payable before 2020 graduation for final-year students or before further registration for 2021.
