Beware of Tuition Payment Scams

Scammers may approach you with offers to pay your tuition, usually in exchange for personal information or a "small fee." These offers are fraudulent and can lead to financial loss or identity theft.

Verify Unsolicited Offers: Any offer to pay your tuition should be approached with caution. Verify the legitimacy of such offers through official university channels before proceeding.

Official Payment Channels: Always use the university’s official payment system for your tuition fees. Be wary of requests to use alternative payment methods like wire transfers, gift cards, stolen credit cards or cryptocurrency.

Protect your username/Password: Do not share your username and password with anyone.
