PROC-05-05 Fees and Other Income

Purpose of procedure

Fees for courses are charged per course or unit. Each course/unit fee must be paid in full prior to the commencement of classes. Learners will pay fees only after they have read and fully understood and have been given sufficient and accurate information regarding:

  1. The institution
  2. Its support services
  3. Entry requirements
  4. The program they want to enrol in
  5. Withdrawals and refund


VITE encourages a Non-Cash Policy as a means to controlling cash receipts. The Petty Cash Fund is used only to facilitate frequent minor payments that do not necessarily require the processing of a cheque.
