Office of Finance

The Finance Office supports the university’s Mission through effective coordination of the financial functions of the campus and the student’s account on a day-to-day basis.

The standard academic year is comprised of the Fall [September-December] and Spring [January-April] semesters. There are two summer sessions [May-June and July-August]

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. In the recent past, when implemented, tuition increases have been in the range of the 4-5% per annum. Any future hikes in tuition, if any, are expected to be within this range.

All fees are inclusive of 5% VAT where applicable.
