TUI T ION FEES 1. Tuition fees are calculated on a per credit basis, and are based on the total number of credits taken by a student in a given semester. 2. The cost per credit for each module is determined by the Faculty/College from which the module is being offered, based on the associated credit value assigned to each module. The following guidelines are applicable as it relates to tuition fees: 3. Under Semesterization, students are allowed to select modules and class times online using UTech, Ja’s Students’ Portal, via the University’s website at www.utech.edu.jm. 4. Students can ascertain the cost per credit for each module from the respective College/Faculty that offers the respective modules. This information is displayed on the student's fee breakdown and on the Students’ Portal. 5. Students may request an estimate of fees from Student Financing Department by sending an email to fincustomersupport@utech.edu.jm. The Estimate of Fees is offered at no cost. 6. Based on the modules selected and the credit assignment for each module, an invoice is generated automatically; which details the total amount for which the student is billed for the modules selected; plus, any other related (miscellaneous) charges for that semester. 7. The flexibility of semesterization allows students to take a minimum of nine (9) credits per semester; thereby giving them the freedom to meet their financial obligations to the University, based on affordability. 8. Irrespective of the number of modules selected, students are required to pay in full (100%) for all modules selected, as well as clear any outstanding balance previously owed to the University. 9. The number of modules selected can be as low as 9 credits or as high as 21 credits; and the number of modules selected should be based on the student's ability to pay. 10. This means that the 100% fee payment requirement will vary from student to student; depending on the number of modules that are selected. 11. The University may decide to offer a payment plan to students. If offered, all students who do not pay 100% of fees for modules selected by the Census Date, would default to the University’s Standard Payment Plan for that semester and would be subjected to all terms and conditions of the plan. “EXC E L L E NC E THROUGH KNOWL E DG E ” ST UD E NT FI NANC I A L SE R V I C E S 81
