TUT's student fees rules list a minimum initial payment of R1 500 before registration as the first instalment of tuition. First-time students who applied to NSFAS by the closing date can register without paying upfront fees once NSFAS confirms their funding, and NSFAS-qualifying students who paid may request a refund. No payment arrangement is offered for the R1 500. Source: TUT prospectus Part 9 and finance registration notice. Confirm the current figure.
