Go to My Payments

There are several ways to reach the payments page - use whichever you see first:

• Dashboard alert - if fees are due, you see Course fees due. → click Pay Now
• Locked content alert - if courses are locked, click Pay now →
• My Courses - if content is locked, click Pay to Unlock on any course

The page heading is My Payments with your program name underneath.

Check your fee summary before paying

At the top of My Payments, review the four summary cards:

• UGX Total Paid - how much you have paid so far
• UGX Outstanding - how much you still owe
• Transactions - number of payments made
• UGX Paid / Total - your progress against full program fees

Below that, open the Fee Breakdown table. It lists each fee type with Program Fee, Paid, and Outstanding columns:

• Tuition Fee
• Practical / Project Fee
• Assessment Fee
• Exam Fee - only shown if your program has an exam fee; confirm the amount with administration before paying

The table footer shows your Total across all fee types. Make sure the outstanding amount matches what you expect before continuing.

Click Pay Online Now

If you have an outstanding balance, you will see a green button. Click either:

• Pay Online Now - at the top-right of the page, or
• Pay UGX {your outstanding amount} Outstanding - inside the Pay Fees Online card on the right

Both buttons open the same payment form. If you see All fees paid! instead, your account is already up to date - no payment needed.

Complete the Pay Fees Online form

A popup window titled Pay Fees Online opens. Fill in every field:

1. Fee Type - choose what you are paying toward:
   • Tuition Fee
   • Practical / Project Fee

Unlock your courses (if applicable)

Course materials, quizzes, and assignments are locked until you have paid enough toward your program fees. By default you need at least 50% of your total program fees paid (your program may use a different percentage).

1. Go to My Courses from the sidebar.
2. If still locked, you see Content is locked. and each course shows Pay to Unlock - return to My Payments and pay more (repeat from step 4).
3. On My Dashboard, the alert may tell you exactly how much more to pay, e.g. Pay at least UGX {amount} more to unlock course content (50% of term fees).
4. Once enough is paid, the lock disappears and each course shows Open Course - click it to access study materials.

Repeat until fully paid, or you’re all set

• Still owe fees? Repeat steps 4–9 as many times as needed until UGX Outstanding reaches zero.
• Fully paid? The Pay Fees Online card shows All fees paid! and Your account is up to date. - the pay buttons disappear.
