6 UNIVERSITY NUMBER Each student admitted to the North-West University receives a university number. Students must note that, although they are not regarded as a mere number, this university number must appear on all correspondence directed to the University. This 8-figure university number is also the only reference number to be used with direct bank deposits or electronic bank transfers into the University s bank account for a student s account towards tuition, residence fees, other fees, or cash for meals.

7 Financial LIABILITY All students must be registered annually as provided in the General Academic Rules , the Statute of the North-West University, and the relevant provisions of the Higher Education Act. A student who is registered is responsible for payment of the full tuition, residence, and other fees. Only registered students will be allowed to attend classes. Your attention is drawn to the fact that the contract that forms part of the application for admission to the North-West University and is signed by the student and/or sponsor/co-debtor, binds the student inter alia to the payment of the full tuition, residence and other fees as determined by the University for any fixed year of registration.

8 Furthermore, the responsibility of the student for the payment of University fees is not affected or reduced by the ignorance of the student and/or his/her sponsor/co-debtor regarding the Rules and regulations of the North-West University, or the invalidity of his/her enrolment in terms of those Rules and regulations. By signing and submitting the registration form, the provisions of this regulation are incorporated by reference into the contract between the University and the student, and the student accepts responsibility for the payment of all prescribed fees (regardless of whether an account is received), as determined from time to time by Council.

9 The NWU is strongly committed to protecting personal information/data. Therefore, personal information of students (including, but not limited to academic and Financial information) may be shared with third parties, provided that the NWU has a legal justification to share such information with the third party. No personal information will be shared with any third party if such legal justification does not exist. All personal information will be managed in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act, 4 of 2013.

10 For information relating to the management of personal information at the NWU, also refer to the NWU Personal Information Privacy Policy as well as the NWU Privacy statement. Any amount which is from time to time due and Payable by the student to the University, in terms of the University's Financial Rules and regulations as published in the brochure entitled "Fees Payable and Financial Rules ", shall be proven by means of a certificate of balance, which is issued and signed by an authorised official of the University.
