Tution Fee Payment options
Tuition fees can be a significant financial burden, regardless of whether they are paid in full upfront or
through installments. The chosen payment method should be based on individual financial capacity. To
ensure timely registration and academic progress, a minimum of 25% of the annual tuition fee is
typically required at the beginning of each semester, with the remaining balance due at the end of the
semester.
