University institutional policy requires all students to pay tuition and fees in advance. Students who owe money to the institution will not be allowed to register for the subsequent semester until the balance owed is paid in full. SAP students receiving financial aid may be allowed a tuition deferment based upon the anticipated receipt of funds. This is granted solely at the discretion of AUD based on the official notice of approval from the granting or lending agency. The university evaluates institutional tuition and fee rates in the second semester of each academic year, and rates may be subject to change at the beginning of the following academic year.

A tuition and fee schedule is included in this Catalog.

Private health insurance covering care in the UAE is mandatory for all AUD students. In order to meet this requirement by enrolling in the AUD-sponsored health insurance plan, students are charged a non-refundable fee on their Fall semester bill covering the period September 1 through August 31.

For this fee to be waived, students are required to provide evidence of currently valid private health insurance covering care in the UAE (Original Insurance Card) to the Finance Office.

Deadline to do so is the last day of the Fall semester Drop/Add (see AUD Academic Calendar).

Failure to provide this evidence before the deadline will result in cancellation of the option to waive the health insurance coverage and associated fee.
