KIUST 2008 POSTGRADUATE TUITION FEE STRUCTURE

NOTE

KIUST 2008 UNDERGRADUATE TUITION FEE STRUCTURE

NOTE:

• To process your application you must pay USD100 Application Handling Fee. When you submit your application form On-line, we shall send you instruction about how to send your USD100 Application Handling Fee. If your application is not successful, the Application Handling Fee will be refunded. However, if your application is successful the US$100 Application Handling Fee that you have paid will count towards your tuition fees. Tuition fees are due two weeks prior to the start date of each unit/semester. Tuition fees include unit registration, study materials, examination fees but do not include the cost of text- books.
• Students who plan to attend face -to-face lectures/tutorial support classes in a local “Learning Centre” in their country may be charged an additional fee by the Learning Centre to cover administrative cost. This additional fee must not be more than 10% of the required tuition fee.
• Students can pay their tuition fees per unit or by installments per semester or per year.
• Students who wish to complete a program in a year must pay the fees in 3 semesters while students who wish to complete it in 2 years can pay the tuition fees over a period of 6 semesters.

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 units they enrol for in that semester or pay their fees in installments. KIUST will refund all payments made by a student if: (i) The course/unit is cancelled, or (ii) Commencement of the course/unit is postponed for more than four weeks.

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

• Therefore, if a student withdraws from the course/unit 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/unit or program there is no refund of Tuition Fees. However, the student may use the Tuition Fees to study another KIUST course/unit or program offered in the Learning Centre.

NOTE: When studying through a Learning Centre, if the Tuition Fee (including the Application Handling Fee) specified here is paid directly to the Learning Centre by the student, the Learning Centre must provide lectures and tutorial support classes to students. The Learning Centre must therefore issue a receipt bearing the Learning Centre’s name. The student must immediately email or fax us a copy of the receipt they have received from the Learning Centre and also tell us the name and address of the Learning Centre. If a refund is required, the Learning Centre is the one responsible for the refund.
