Payment Methods for Tuition Fees

Tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.  Students must pay the exact amount of the fees specified on the debit note in one transaction and correctly input the 8-digit debit note number by the payment deadline; otherwise, the payment transaction will be taken as incomplete and rejected.  A handling fee will be charged for each reject.  Students should notify the CPCE Academic Registry (sp.car@speed-polyu.edu.hk) with proof of payment in case late/ wrong payment is made.

Students should settle their debit note for tuition and other fees by one of the payment methods below.
