The University of Namibia is taking significant steps to support senior students facing financial barriers.
Eligible final-year students can now register even with outstanding fees of less than N,000, provided they sign a payment plan agreement. This initiative aims to prevent academic exclusion and ensure students can complete their studies and graduate.
UNAM’s Initiative to Support Final-Year Students
The University of Namibia (UNAM) has introduced a relief measure for senior students struggling with outstanding fees. This initiative specifically targets those who owe less than N,000, allowing them to register for classes after signing a payment plan agreement. The university’s spokesperson, Simon Namesho, emphasized that this move is crucial for preventing academic exclusion.
Students who owe more than the N,000 threshold may still qualify for registration if they reduce their outstanding balance and sign the necessary agreement. This flexibility is designed to accommodate students who might otherwise be barred from completing their education.

Temporary Measures and Deadlines
This arrangement is temporary and subject to strict deadlines. It overrides all previous payment announcements made by the university. Affected students are encouraged to register promptly and consult the official notice from the Registrar and Finance Department for detailed requirements and conditions.
Next Steps for Affected Students
- Register as soon as possible.
- Consult the official notice issued by the Registrar.
- Review the requirements and conditions for the payment plan.
UNAM is committed to ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder students from graduating.
