PAYMENT MODALITIES

The following modalities should be observed in payment of University direct costs and other dues pertaining
to students:

1) All candidates are required to pay full fees for the year during registration. Payment in two instalments will only be
permitted under special arrangements, in which case, a minimum of 50% of the University direct costs for the first
year of study shall be paid during first registration and before issuance of the registration number. The remaining
50% shall be paid during subsequent registration in the second semester/trimester/module. This procedure also
applies for fees to be paid in the second year of studies.

2) *UDOM Hostel Accommodation payments be paid once per year during registration. Payment in two instalments
will be permitted under special arrangements.

3) All payments should be deposited to the Bank using Control Numbers indicated on the Admission letter (for
newly admitted students) and UDOM SR for continuing students. Please ensure that you receive receipts for all
payments made.

4) All students’ direct costs except research funds shall be paid directly to students by Sponsors based on sponsorship
 policies. However, these are indicative figures, and sponsors may always consider increasing some stipend paid to
candidates because Dodoma is a growing town; thus, prices are likely to fluctuate. Also, students should make
arrangements with their sponsors so that their allowances can be paid directly to them through their bank accounts.
The University shall not be responsible for student’s allowances unless there is an agreement between the sponsor
and the University. If such an agreement is signed, an administrative fee of 5% will be charged.

5) Research funds shall be paid to the University by respective sponsors and then to students upon submission of
research proposals approved by relevant University organs.

6) Students who withdraw from studies within four weeks from the starting date of registration may be refunded
subject to 10% detainment of the money paid. Note that request of refund of University direct costs due to
withdrawal from studies beyond four weeks from the starting date of registration shall not be entertained.
Nonetheless, accommodation money shall be refunded on a pro-rata basis based on the length of stay in the
University hostels.

7) All students from Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) as well as those from East African
Community (EAC) shall make payments in Tanzanian shillings like the Tanzanian students.
