Fees Payable by Full-time and Part-time Students

Registering in the 2019/2020 Academic Year
Definition of a student
A person is considered to be a UWI student only after the completion of registration
and payment of all fees (tuition, compulsory and hall fees) for the semester. A student
who writes an examination(s) for a course(s) for which he/she was not registered
and paid for will not be credited for such course(s).

Accounts Receivable Hold (AR Hold)

An AR Hold is placed on the accounts of students who have not paid fees and/
or submitted a GATE application form or sponsorship letter. This HOLD prevents
registration, access to grades and transcripts and can only be removed by the Student
Accounts Section of the Bursary.

GATE Hold (GT Hold)

The GATE policy of the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, states
that, effective January 2015, “GATE no longer covers students whose cumulative
Grade Point Average (GPA) is below 2.0 at the end of the academic year”. Therefore
a GT hold is placed on the accounts of these students to ensure that GATE is not
applied to their accounts. Students will be required to pay their own tuition fees.

De-Registration
A New First Time student who has registered but failed to pay ALL required fees by
the last working day of October for semester I, the last working day of March for
semester II and last working day of June for summer session, will be de-registered
from the courses and the offer withdrawn. Such students will be required to submit a
new application for admission within the application period for entry at a future date.

Compulsory Leave of Absence

A Continuing/Returning student who has registered but has failed to pay ALL
required fees by the last working day of October for semester I or the last working
day of March for semester II and the last working day of June for summer session,
will be de-registered from the courses and automatically placed on a Compulsory
Leave of Absence [CL] for the particular semester.

Reinstatement of Course(s)
A student who course selection has been removed and who has been placed
on compulsory leave of absence for non-payment of fees may apply for
reinstatement of their course(s) by submitting their proof of payments of these
course(s) to the Bursary- Students & Receivables Section no later than 5 working
days after the last working day of October for Semester 1 or 5 working
days after on the last working day of March for Semester II or 5 working
days after the last working day of June for the Summer Session after the
compulsory leave of absence has been entered on the student’s record.
Students will not receive reinstatement of course registration for the
prevailing semester when payment is made outside of the prescribed
period of clemency. This payment will be credited towards the student’s
account.

Subsidies
Students receiving subsidies are required to pay their percentage of the tuition
fee as per their contract agreement.

Explanatory Notes
The University of the West Indies has a credit base fee structure for undergraduate
programmes which will offer students the advantage and flexibility of being
able to pay in accordance with the number of credits chosen.

Students registered for 24 or more credits for the academic year are classified
as full time. Those registered for less than 24 credits are classified as part time.

With the exception of students from Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Jamaica,
students from countries contributing to the University would be allowed to
pay the lower fee. These students must also provide a letter of sponsorship for
economic cost from their respective governments.

Tuition fees for nationals of contributing countries sponsored by their

governments have been calculated at 20% of the 2019/2020 economic cost.
Contributing governments pay the remaining 80% of the economic cost on
behalf of each sponsored student. Fees for students from contributing countries,
not sponsored by their governments, who are admitted under the quota, have
been calculated at 33.3% of the economic cost.
