Frequently Asked Questions
If I am taking fewer than 9 credit hours, will I receive the 15% waiver?
Yes. The waiver will be calculated according to the number of credit hours you take.
I am government-sponsored and need to register for the June semester. How much should I pay?
Government funding does not cover the June trimester. Please pay as a privately sponsored student, using the applicable June semester fee structure as your guide.
I have paid 50% and my account is still blocked. What should I do?
Wait until the next working day. Your account should be activated automatically.
I have paid, but the amount is not showing on my account. What should I do?
Payments normally appear on the next working day. If yours has not appeared within two days, send proof of payment to finance@daystar.ac.ke. For EFT, online transfer, RTGS or PesaLink payments, also send the proof to mmmutiso@daystar.ac.ke.
I have paid my fees in full, but my portal still shows a balance. What does this mean?
A balance shown in brackets on the student portal indicates an overpayment. For example, 500 means you still owe Daystar KES 500, while (500) means you have overpaid by KES 500. If a payment is also missing from your account, send proof of payment to finance@daystar.ac.ke.
Why can't I access online registration?
This is likely because the University has not yet received your 50% payment.
I have paid, but I cannot sign in to the portal. What should I do?
Reset your sign-in credentials or seek help from the ICT office. The Finance Department does not block portal sign-in.
