Tuition can't be paid in cash at the beginning of school. Under normal circumstances, if a bank card is attached to the college entrance examination admission notice, you need to credit the tuition into the card according to the number required by the school before the school starts. In this case, the tuition is paid through online banking, and the money should be transferred to the school card in advance, but the school will take the tuition away after the school starts.

There are also ways to pay tuition fees in cash, or to swipe your card at school with other bank cards, which can be completed on the first day or two days of school.

In short, the situation in our school is like this, but the general situation of paying tuition fees in universities should be similar. What's more, if you are a poor student and need a student loan, the tuition fee should not be paid before the start of school, but it is impossible for the school to prevent the poor students from going to school.

Therefore, college tuition fees do not have to be paid before the start of school.
