How to Make an Online Payment on the UNAM Website

Updated

To pay UNAM fees or charges online, start from the Online Payment link on the university homepage (unam.edu.na) and follow the payment portal it opens. The site confirms that an online payment facility exists but does not list accepted payment methods, fees, or confirmation steps, so verify those with UNAM directly before relying on a payment going through.

Before You Start

  • Your student number or applicant ID, if you have one.
  • The amount and reference for what you are paying (for example, an application fee or tuition), taken from your invoice, admission letter, or the office that requested payment.
  • A payment method — check with UNAM which cards or transfer options the portal accepts, since the website does not state this.

Step-by-Step

  1. Go to unam.edu.na.
  2. Find the Online Payment link. It appears in the homepage quick-access items alongside "All Courses", "UNAM eBooks", and "Online Application", and again under Quick Links.
  3. Select Online Payment / Pay Here to open the payment portal.
  4. Enter the requested details — typically your student or applicant reference and the amount — and complete the payment using an accepted method.
  5. Save your proof of payment (receipt or confirmation screen/reference number).

Expected result: the portal accepts the payment and issues a confirmation or reference. Keep this until UNAM reflects the payment against your account.

What the Portal Is For

The site presents Online Payment as a general facility rather than a single-purpose page. In practice it is the entry point for university charges such as application and tuition-related payments. Because the site does not itemise which charges can be paid online, confirm with the relevant UNAM office (for example, Finance or Admissions) that your specific payment belongs there.

Verifying Your Payment

The website does not describe a confirmation process, so treat these as checks to make with UNAM:

  • Ask the receiving office how long a payment takes to appear on your student account.
  • Keep your receipt and reference number and quote them in any follow-up.
  • If the portal shows an error or you are unsure the payment completed, do not pay twice — contact UNAM first with your reference.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming all payment types are accepted online. The site does not say so; check first.
  • Paying without a reference. Without your student/applicant number, matching the payment to you is harder.
  • No saved proof. Always keep the confirmation, since the site gives no self-service receipt guidance.

Related Actions on the Same Site

The homepage also links Online Application (Apply Now), All Courses and prospectuses, and UNAM eBooks. If you are paying an application fee, complete the Online Application step and use the payment reference it gives you.

For anything the site leaves unclear — accepted methods, fees, or confirmation timing — contact UNAM directly rather than assuming.
