Students Refund Policy

1. As a general rule KIUST students are required to pay their fees two weeks prior to the commencement of the semester. Every semester students pay for the number of courses they enrol for in that semester or pay their fees in instalments. KIUST will refund all payments made by a student if: (i) The course is cancelled, or (ii) Commencement of the course is postponed for more than four weeks.

2. Students are not entitled to a refund after commencing the course.

NOTE: When studying through a Learning Centre, the tuition Fees (which cover the teaching and the examination fee) are paid directly to the Learning Centre by the student because the Learning Centres provide lectures and tutorial support classes to students. The Learning Centre must therefore issue a receipt bearing the Learning Centre’s name. If a refund is required, the Learning Centre is the one responsible for the refund.

• Therefore, if a student withdraws from the course or program prior to commencement, the Learning Centre that enrolled the student and collected the fees will refund the full Tuition Fee paid by the student.
• After a student has commenced the course or program t here is no refund of Tuition Fees. However, the student may use the Tuition Fees to study another KIUST course or program offered in the Learning Centre.
