Rhodes University Tuition Fee
Block fees The regulations of the various faculties prescribe the number of courses full-time students are normally expected to take in each year of their curriculum. Unless otherwise stated, the annual block fees include tuition fees for classes and laboratories, fees for ordinary University examinations and library fees for the normal number of courses. Full-time students taking fewer than the normal number of courses in any given year will still be liable for the full block fee.
OTHER FEE CONSIDERATIONS
Additional courses Subject to the regulations of the various Faculties, undergraduate students may take in any year one course more than the normal number prescribed for that year of their curriculum without extra charge.
Full-time postgraduate students may take in any year one undergraduate course free of charge, provided that they have obtained the prior approval of their head of department and of the Dean of the Faculty, and provided that a postgraduate student in Law may take first year courses in any one language subject in any year without extra charge. The undergraduate course becomes payable separately once deregistered from full-time course.
