MEMORANDUM
SJUT/DVCPF/MEM/2010/07004A

HOW SHALL I PAY TUITION FEES AND OTHER CHARGES NEXT YEAR?
THERE ARE SOME CHANGES:

1) BEGINNING 01 SEPTEMBER 2010, PAYMENT OF ARREARS, TUITION FEES, AND OTHER

CHARGES SHALL BE MADE UNDER A SINGLE ACCOUNT DEPOSIT POLICY. THE NEW
POLICY CALLS FOR STUDENTS TO DEPOSIT ALL PAYMENTS INTO SINGLE ACCOUNT,
EXCEPT FOR ACCOMMODATION FEES,

2) ALL SJUT MAIN CAMPUS STUDENTS SHALL DEPOSIT ALL FEES, EXCEPT FOR
ACCOMMODATION, INTO THE “SJUT-TUITION ACCOUNT,” REGARDLESS THE NATURE
OF DEPOSIT. THIS INCLUDES TUITION FEES, SOSJUT FEE, REGISTRATION FEE,
EXAMINATION FEE, GRADUATION FEE, ETC.

3) IN ORDER TO TRACK DEPOSIT DETAILS DIRECTLY FROM THE BANK STATEMENT,

CRDB SHALL ENSURE THAT EVERY DEPOSIT BEARS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
a. STUDENT REGISTRATION NUMBER (e.g. 2009/4321)
b. SURNAME, FIRST INITIAL
c. COURSE (e.g BAED)
EVERY POSTED TRANSACTION WILL HAVE A COMPUTER-GENERATED ID NUMBER,
WHICH WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RECORDED INTO OUR ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE.

4) TO ENSURE DEPOSITS ARE CORRECTLY APPLIED TO THE RIGHT STUDENT ACCOUNT,

WE REQUIRE EACH STUDENT WHO MAKES A DEPOSIT TO GIVE FULL AND ACCURATE
DETAILS TO THE BANK TELLER SO THEY RECORD THEM PROPERLY, STARTING WITH
REGISTRATION NUMBER, FOLLOWED BY SURNAME, FIRST INITIAL AND THEN
COURSE OF STUDY.

5) WE CAN TOLERATE DEPOSITS WITH IREGULAR DETAILS UP TO 31/08/2010, BUT FROM

THEN WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY DEPOSIT WHICH DOES NOT HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE DETAILS. ALSO WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT DEPOSIT SLIPS WHICH DO NOT
BEAR THE UNIQUE, COMPUTER-GENERATED IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. IN OTHER
WORDS, WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT DEPOSIT SLIPS WHICH ARE WRITTEN BY HAND.
THEREFORE, BE SURE ALWAYS TO GET A COMPUTER GENERATED DEPOSIT SLIP, DULY
STAMPED, RATHER THAN A HAND-WRITTEN ONE.

6) STUDENTS WHO SHALL BE ACCOMMODATED ON-CAMPUS SHALL DEPOSIT THEIR

ACCOMODATION FEES INTO THE ACCOMODATION A/C AS BEFORE.

WE ARE WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH CRDB MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THERE IS

FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU TO MAKE DEPOSIT INTO OUR ACCOUNT.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT PART IN MAKING THE PAYMENT PROCESS GO SMOOTHLY AND
AVOIDING LONG QUEUES IS FOR STUDENTS AND SPONSORS TO GATHER FUNDS AND PAY
FEES WELL IN ADVANCE OF REGISTRATION. IN PARTICULAR, STUDENTS SHOULD PAY FEES
AT LEAST SEVEN (7) DAYS PRIOR TO COMING TO THE CAMPUS FOR REGISTRATION.

PLEASE LOOK FOR ANY NEW INFORMATION AT THE UNIVERSITY WEBSITE, www.sjut.ac.tz,
PARTICULARLY REGARDING IMPROVED PAYMENT PROCEDURES.
