Maritzburg College

Debit Order Mandate

All payments for school fees and boarding establishment (BE) fees are done by debit order. Payments for school and BE fees must be done separately, i.e. two debit order forms must be signed. The debit order mandate must be completed, regardless of your payment option. School fees are due by the 31 January each year, but arrangements can be made with the Finance Department at Maritzburg College to pay the fees over 10 months, starting at the end of January.

Deposits

Upon your son’s acceptance to Maritzburg College, payment of the Tuition and/or Boarding Deposit is necessary to secure your son’s position at Maritzburg College.

Tuition

A Tuition Deposit of R2,200 is payable on your son’s acceptance to the school. This deposit will be credited to your son’s Tuition account in the last month of schooling, i.e. at the end of his Form 6/Grade 12 year, or the month of withdrawal from College, provided that all fees are paid in full at that stage. A Book Deposit of R1,500 is payable on your son’s acceptance to the school. This deposit will be retained in a separate account to cover any text books issued by the school and not returned annually by a pupil. Should these funds become depleted, an additional top-up will be required. If the funds are not fully utilised by the end of your son’s school career, the balance will be credited to your son’s Tuition account, provided that all other fees are paid in full at that stage.

Deposit Refunds

Deposits are refunded pro-rata from the date of the learner’s withdrawal to the date that the learner would have completed his career at College. The aforementioned deposits are only refundable if the correct withdrawal procedure is followed, i.e. one term’s notice must be submitted, in writing, to the Admissions Department. Should learners fail to return at the beginning of any given year, without proper notification, this will result in the deposits being forfeited.
