University of Cape Town UCT Payment Methods
How and where can I make a payment?
Various methods of payment are available and must include the student name and student number to avoid the possibility of a payment not being timeously credited to the correct student fees account.
M65 form
The preferred method of payment is via the M65 form. (A hard copy of this form can also be found at the bottom of UCT fees correspondence.) This should be used whenever possible to ensure prompt credit of payment to the student fees account. This form may only be used at Standard Bank branches. Don’t forget to ensure that your nameand student number are on both sections of the form.
Download the M65 form.
Cheque
The student’s name and student number must appear on the back of the cheque. Cheques should be crossed, made payable to the “University of Cape Town” and sent to:
Cashiers Office
University of Cape Town
Private Bag X3
7701 Rondebosch
No changes on cheques will be accepted even if the account holder has signed the changes in full. Any attempted cancellation or change on the cheque will give rise to the cheque being rejected by the bank.
Postdated cheques will not be accepted.
A R150 administration fee will be charged on all unpaid cheques.
Credit card
Credit card payments for student fees are accepted.
