Fees and Finances
Payment deadlines for self-paying, full-time & guest students:
Autumn semester: 15 October (Foundation students must pay the tuition fee for the first semester until registration, and for the second semester until the beginning of the second semester. The fee has to show up in the student's Neptun account.)
Spring semester: 15 March (Foundation students must pay the tuition fee for for the first semester until registration, and for the second semester until the beginning of the second semester. The fee has to show up in the student's Neptun account.)
How to pay:
- In Neptun, you will find the payment liability under the Finances/Payments menu. There you can check the amount you need to pay, the deadline for payment, and also check the fulfilment after paying.
- In the case of the tuition fee, card payment is not possible yet.
- The available payment option is money transfer to your Neptun account. You transfer the amount to your Neptun account, then in a few days, the sum will appear under the same menu mentioned above.
- Really important: the tuition fee payment is EUR based, you have to transfer EUR.
- All other payments (that are not tuition fee) are in HUF. e.g. dormitory fee, sport course fees, late registration fees, second course registration, credit exceeding, etc.
- The EUR and the HUF based payments has two different bank account numbers, so be careful when you transfer. You will not be able to complete the EUR payment if you transferred the money to the HUF account, vica versa.
- Take into consideration that it can be different country by country how long it takes for your EUR to arrive at Hungary, then at your Neptun account. Thus do not leave the transfer for the last moment. Count 5-10 days at least until the money appears in your Neptun.
- It is essential for the successful transfer also to fill in the notification/notice/message section correctly when you transfer: NK-your own Neptun code (6 digits) e.g. NK-ABCD12. Be careful when you fill in the section with handwriting, make a difference between number zero and letter O if your Neptun code contains one of these. Your payment will be identified and connected to your Neptun with your Neptun code, so add it to the notification/notice/message part of the transfer request. If it is missing, the money will not appear in your Neptun.
- Be sure the sum you transfer is appropriate. Bank costs, transfer cost and other commission fees can be included when you transfer. If the sum that arrives at the ELTE Neptun account is less, even with a Euro, than your tuition fee, the payment cannot be completed in Neptun.
- Always keep a proof of the transfer with you in case the sum does not arrive appropriately to your Neptun account. A complaint and tracking is possible only with the bankslip or screenshot of the successful transfer.
