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	USD 400 per academic year, paid in LBP at the official BDL 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, i.e., end of September (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.

Throughout the Financial Aid Office (FAO), 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 FAO before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar). Beyond this date, they can only contact the FAO in order to pay their tuition fees in installments.

These prices are applicable in all the USEK branches.

The cost of a credit is subject to change; the administration reserves the right to review and modify fees every semester (Student Guide, D.2). 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 the University’s 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.
