Dear student, below are the procedures and rules regarding how to pay tuition fees.

The Academic College reserves the right to make changes to all rules and regulations published here, without prior notice.

-Admitted candidates who have gone through the registration process will receive an acceptance letter to which a tuition payment form will be attached. Tuition must be paid by the date specified in the acceptance letter. A student/candidate who does not pay the full tuition fee by this date will lose his/her place and the Academic College cannot guarantee his/her place this year.
