Payment Due Dates for Tuition Fee and Miscellaneous Student Fees

We are responsible for billing of tuition and fees, financial aid disbursement and collection of fees for undergraduates, graduate students and non-graduating students.

For all student matters (e.g. tuition bills, hostel bills, financial aid applications, or leave of absence), please submit your query through the FAQ Portal by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking “Ask a Question.”

For matters related to the NUS Student Work Scheme (part-time payment), please email careers@nus.edu.sg.

(These payment due dates are not applicable for SCALE students enrolled in Masters, BTech, Specialist Certificate/Certificate, Graduate Certificate and L3 programmes. GIRO is not applicable for SCALE students enrolled in Specialist Certificate/Certificate, Graduate Certificate and L3 programmes as their payment due dates are before the start of each semester.
