It is risky to wait until January 2018 to pay your fees. Firstly, the December holidays and the start of a new year is an expensive time for many of us. Secondly, SOPH cannot register you without having first received your study fees. Thirdly, you will not be able to access your study materials if you have not paid your fees and registered. Finally, nothing will be processed at UWC between 24 Dec 2018 – 2 Jan 2019. So … try to make payment before 18 Jan 2019 to avoid delays.
International students with African Country Citizenship
All students who have permanent citizenship of an African country will pay the same tuition fees as South African citizens, unless the modules for which they are enrolling are offered at a higher fee, e.g. Nutrition modules.
