UL requires a non-refundable application fee, a registration or upfront payment toward your fees before registration, and tuition fees that vary by programme and faculty.
Payments must be made by specific deadlines so that you can complete your registration and proceed with classes.
University of Limpopo Application Fee 2027 (Non-refundable)
To apply to study at UL, all applicants must pay a non-refundable application fee before submitting their application through the official University of Limpopo Application Portal.
- South African applicants: R200 application fee
- International applicants: R750 application fee
This application fee covers the cost of processing your application and must be paid before the application can be processed.
Proof of payment should be attached to your application form when submitting it online.
If you are applying from outside South Africa, use your passport number as the payment reference when making the bank transfer.
University of Limpopo Registration Fee 2027 (Initial Payment)
After you receive an offer of study, UL requires a minimum upfront payment before registration can be completed.
This upfront payment covers part of your tuition fees and the compulsory registration levies, and it must reflect on your student account before online registration is finalised.
For students who are self-funded (not covered by NSFAS or a sponsor), the minimum amount required for registration is usually around R5 000, which includes part of the tuition and the required levies.
This estimate is based on the most recent fee guides where the total required upfront payment was around that amount for local students.
If you are successful in securing on-campus residence, you will be required to pay an additional residence deposit on top of the minimum upfront payment before residence registration can take place.
If you have outstanding debt from previous years, UL will block your registration until all previous balances are settled.
University of Limpopo Tuition Fee Structure per Faculty
UL does not publish a single flat tuition fee for all students.
Instead, the amount you pay depends on your programme, faculty, and the number of modules you register for in the academic year.
Typical faculties and programmes include:
- Faculty of Health Sciences
- Faculty of Humanities
- Faculty of Science and Agriculture
- Faculty of Management and Law
Tuition fees are structured based on your qualification and the credits or modules you enrol in.
Exact tuition amounts for 2027 are set annually by the university’s council and will be announced in the official UL Fees Guide once published.
Students can request detailed fee information from the Student Fees Office or check the official fees page once the 2027 fees booklet is released.

University of Limpopo Fees for NSFAS Funded Students
If you are funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), NSFAS will pay your tuition and registration fees directly to UL once your funding is approved before the registration deadlines.
This means that you may not have to pay the initial upfront payment yourself if NSFAS funding is finalised in time.
To benefit from NSFAS funding:
- Ensure your funding application is submitted and approved early.
- Submit the NSFAS confirmation letter or approved status to the Student Finance Office before registration.
- Provide any additional documentation requested by the university to verify your funding status.
If NSFAS funding is not confirmed in time, you may be required to pay the minimum registration payment yourself to complete your registration on time.
