This is a very important and responsible question! At Pollster Education, we always recommend that parents and students carefully verify all necessary documents and information before making any tuition fee payments to universities abroad. Here’s a checklist of documents and steps parents should verify before paying fees:

1. Official Offer Letter

- Ensure you have received a final, unconditional offer letter from the university (not just an email or a conditional offer).
- The letter should include your name, course details, duration, tuition fees, and payment instructions.

2. University Verification

- Confirm the university’s official website and cross-check the bank account details for fee payment.
- Never pay through third-party agents or personal accounts—payment should go directly to the university’s official bank account.

3. Payment Instructions

- Check that the payment instructions (bank details, SWIFT code, reference number) match the details provided on the university’s official portal or offer letter.
- If in doubt, contact the university’s finance/admissions department directly using the contact details from their official website.

4. Fee Breakdown

- Make sure the amount you are paying matches what is mentioned in the offer letter (tuition, deposits, and any other charges).
- Clarify if the payment is for full tuition, partial tuition, or a deposit.

5. Refund Policy

- Review the university’s refund policy for tuition fees in case of visa refusal or if the student decides not to attend.
- This should be mentioned on the university’s official website or in the offer letter.

6. Visa Requirements

- Confirm if you need a fee receipt or a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for your visa application (especially for UK/Canada/Australia).
- Some countries require you to pay a deposit before issuing visa documents.

7. Pollster Education Support

- If you are applying through Pollster Education, we verify all fee payment details for you and guide you through the safe payment process.

Key Points for Parents:
- Always double-check bank details with the university before transferring funds.
- Keep all payment receipts and correspondence as proof.
- Never share sensitive personal or banking information with unverified third parties.
