Registration Fees	USD 200 per semester (Fall, Spring and Summer Session), paid in cash dollars and non-refundable.
Operational Fees	USD 300 per semester (Fall and Spring Semesters), paid in 3 monthly installments in cash dollars, as per the deadlines specified on the Academic Calendar.
NSSF membership fees	LBP 2.700.000 per academic year, paid in fresh dollars at the market rate. Students already affiliated to the NSSF or to an equivalent fund (Cooperatives, military, judges and lawyers, Lebanese University, municipalities) are required to submit an official paper at the NSSF Delegate Office. Students who are not affiliated to the NSSF are required to fill in an exemption form at the NSSF Delegate Office. In both cases, this process should be completed before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar). Students who fail to abide by this deadline will not be able to benefit from the NSSF coverage, and the above fees will be automatically credited to their account upon the 2nd payment of tuition fees. N.B.: Any person above 30 is exempted from the above fees and hence is not required to pass by the NSSF Delegate Office.
Payment procedure	The student should install his/her tuition fees in four payments per semester and two payments for the Summer Session. The total tuition fees can be calculated according to the table below noting that during the Fall semester 2023-2024, students will pay 50% of tuition fees in fresh USD, while the remaining 50% are completely waived*. The first payment is equal to USD 600 and should be settled before the registration period, in addition to the USD 200 registration fees. Failure to comply with payment installments, as stated in the Academic Calendar, leads to a financial penalty calculated according to the amount due and a new installment date will be fixed by the University. It is the responsibility of each student to make sure that his/her tuition fees were paid within the deadlines established by the administration of the University. * Provisions not applicable to international students. *Students enrolled in Double Degree Programs should pay 65% of their tuition fees in fresh dollars, instead of 50%.
Refunds	No refunds are granted unless in case of deregistration, and this as defined by the academic regulations.
Financial aid	Throughout the Financial Aid Office, USEK provides help to students facing financial difficulties. And it continues to do so, according to its mission, through discounts. The relevant application should then be duly completed and submitted within the set deadlines. As such, students with financial problems can fill the financial aid application before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar).
