Tuition Fee Payment Control On Registration Program

The data exchange between banks and the university is online concerning tuition payment. The payment information is reflected on the registration program when made at the banks.

The registration program controls the tuition payment of the students who are obliged to make the payment.

Payment for a non-credit course is made as it is a 2-credit course (except for Graduate Seminar, Term Project, and Special/Advanced Studies).

Tuition payment control can be made on the program below:
