Registration Fees

Registration fees cost 150 USD per semester (non-refundable), for all sections and Regional University Centers. These fees are not applicable to the Summer Session, since students cannot be registered in the Summer Session if they have not been registered in the previous Fall or Spring Semesters. These fees do not cover any university services.

Membership Fees to the NSSF

Membership fees to the National Social Security Fund cost 135 USD annually.

Students already affiliated to the NSSF or an equivalent fund, are required to submit an exemption form at the NSSF Delegate Office to ensure 135 USD is not deducted from their account during the registration of the account.The relevant form can be downloaded from MyUsek, the University’s intranet and from the USEK website. It should be completed and submitted before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar).

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 or installment facilities. The relevant application should then be duly completed and submitted within the set deadlines. As such, students with financial problems may contact the SSO before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar). Beyond this date, students can only contact the SSO in order to pay their tuition fees in installments.

These prices are applicable in all the USEK branches. However, students registered in one of the three Regional University centers automatically benefit from a 20 % reduction on their tuition fees; this 20 % reduction does not apply to the application fees (100 USD), registration fees (150 USD) and NSSF fees (135 USD).

The cost of a credit is subject to change; the administration reserves the right to review and modify fees annually (Student Guide, V. 3). All likely modifications of a credit cost are reported in advance to students through bulletin boards, the University’s website and MyUsek. It is the responsibility of each student to keep well-informed with University news and announcements by regularly consulting these means of communication.

Payment Procedure

The student should install his/her tuition fees in three payments per semester and two payments for the Summer Session.

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.

REFUNDS

No refunds are granted unless in case of deregistration, and this as defined by the academic regulations.
