Payment Information
The University introduced new segments of its semesterisation system in the Academic Year 2009/10 — arrangements that allow students to select modules and class times online using UTech’s Students Portal via our website www.utechjamaica.edu.jm. The tuition fee is based on modules students will undertake during the academic year, along with examination / assessment fees, which should be paid per semester. Ancillary fees are paid yearly.
The tuition fee that you pay is calculated on a per credit basis. The cost per credit for each module is determined by the Faculty/College from which it is being offered and the associated credit value for each module. This is also based on the total number of credits that you will undertake in a given academic year. Therefore it is important that each student ascertain the cost per credit rate assigned to their faculty/school.
PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO STUDENTS for generating their invoices are as follows:
- Log into the Student Portal via UTech’s website www.utechjamaica.edu.jm
- Select modules to be pursued at the beginning of each semester (Semester 1 / Semester 2 /Semester 3)

Fee Refund Policy – (in cases of Withdrawal/ Leave of Absence)
The University of Technology, Jamaica projects expenses for the
provision of services to students prior to the beginning of each
programme, based on the number of students who have indicated
their intention to enrol. Normally, these expenses are not subject
to change at short notice. Students who cancel their enrolment
prior to the beginning of the programme or withdraw during the
Semester/
Summer Session may deprive others of the opportunity to gain entry
for the particular Year/Summer Session or may create vacancies
that cannot be filled.
If a student needs to cancel his/her enrolment or withdraw from the University, he or she must give written notice to the Registrar’s Office. Informing a faculty member of non-attendance at classes, or withdrawal, does not constitute official notification or approval. Written approval from the Registrar is required in order for a refund to be considered under the University Refund Policy. Students desirous of withdrawing are required to complete a “Faculty Student Academic Affairs Committee Request” form and submit it to the Registrar Office.
Any student who withdraws from a programme without obtaining
permission from the Academic Board will be deemed to have
abandoned his/her studentship and will be subject to the
University’s formal re-admission process. Fees outstanding for the
year of withdrawal or leave of absence must be settled before
readmission is granted. Any refund of fees will be in accordance
with the Fee Refund Policy outlined herein. Requests for refunds
outside of the stipulated schedule will not be entertained.
The date on which the withdrawal request is received at the
Registrar’s Office will be used as the withdrawal date for
computing any refund. Requests by mail will be dated according to
the postmark.
The Finance and Business Services Office refunds tuition fees within six weeks, provided that all information and documents have been submitted. Refunds are based on the assessment of charges incurred, e.g., administrative fees, and not upon the amount paid. Refund payments are made by cheque in the name of the student, unless he or she directs otherwise.
A student who is expelled or suspended will not be entitled to any fee refund. Students who write to the University Registrar and are granted permission to withdraw from a programme or who are granted Leave of Absence, receive a refund of tuition and examination fees according to the Schedule on page 75.
