M‑Saris / Student fees

Every student's balance, always up to date.

Set fee structures and instalments per programme and semester. Balances, sponsors and waivers decide who can register and who can sit exams — and students see their own statement on the portal.

Free pilot semester. Your own fee structures. No contract.

The current way

Fees decide who registers and who sits exams — so they have to be right

When balances live in a separate finance spreadsheet, every other office has to ask.

Current way
Fee structures are kept in documents and applied by hand.
Consequence
Students on the same programme are charged differently.
Bigger problem
Disputes that take the finance office weeks to settle.
Current way
Students ask finance for their balance in person.
Consequence
Long queues at the finance office every registration and exam period.
Bigger problem
Staff time spent answering questions the record already holds.
Current way
Sponsor payments and waivers are tracked separately.
Consequence
Sponsored students are blocked from exams they are entitled to sit.
Bigger problem
Sponsors question your figures.

How it works with M‑Saris instead

Fees that work with registration and exams
