You must pay at least the required percentage of fees to register.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I view my results if I have a fee balance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A:<\/strong>\u00a0Generally, no.

In my second year, I was confident. I knew my parents had sent the school fees via M-Pesa Paybill. I didn&#8217;t bother logging into the\u00a0<strong>Kisii University student portal<\/strong>\u00a0to confirm receipt. I just assumed everything was fine.<\/p>\n<p>On the morning of my Economics exam, I went to the cyber caf\u00e9 to print my exam card. To my shock, the portal said:\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Balance: KES 12,000. Access Denied.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I panicked. I was sweating. I had to run to the finance office, queue for 30 minutes, and produce the M-Pesa message on my phone. It turned out I had entered one digit of my admission number wrong when paying. They fixed it, but I entered the exam room 20 minutes late, stressed and panting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lesson:<\/strong>\u00a0Always log in and verify. The portal is your source of truth. Do not assume; check it.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"experience\"><\/a>If you ever find yourself short on cash for fees or upkeep, don&#8217;t panic. There are ways to earn while you learn.
