Programme Fees

Programme fees are divided into equal payments per module and must be paid upon registration before the start of the module to ensure continued access to study resources. UPOnline follows a 'Pay as you study' model – you pay only for the module(s) you register for. 

Failure to make payment or upload proof of payment (POP) via the UP Student Portal within five days of the module’s start date will result in access to Blackboard/clickUP being revoked. Students who have not met the payment requirement by day 11 after the module starts will be deregistered. No exceptions will be made.

If the programme fee is paid in full upfront by an External Bursary or Sponsor, the student remains responsible for the difference between the initial payment and the increased amount until programme completion. 

UPOnline students are not eligible for discounts on tuition fees, and no payment arrangements can be made.

Always quote your student number (EMPLID) when making payments.
