For students who may not be comfortable paying online, the process is fairly simple. First, identify the university you want to apply to and find one of its authorised banks or other approved sales outlets. Pay the required amount and collect the voucher, which usually contains a serial number and PIN.

You then go to the university's official admissions website, enter the voucher details and complete the application online.

So, buying the voucher physically does not mean the entire application is done at the bank. In most cases, the bank or sales outlet only provides the voucher. The actual application, uploading of documents and submission are completed online.

Prospective students should also make sure they purchase vouchers only from authorised outlets listed by the university and keep their PIN, serial number and payment receipt safe until the admission process is completed.

Applicants should confirm the information on their chosen university's official admissions platform before making payment.
