As the Campus seeks to support you in your financial planning for the new academic year, we are providing
early notice of the regulations governing registration and the payment of fees for the 2024-2025 academic
year. It is our sincere hope that you will use this advanced notice to put proper financial arrangements in place
to minimize any undue interruptions to your studies.
The following will be the regulations governing registration and the payment of fees for the 2024-2025
academic year:
1.ALL FEES (Tuition, Miscellaneous and Residence) are due by August 30, 2024. However, students may
opt to pay on a Semester basis. (Fees may be viewed at https://www.mona.uwi.edu/fees)
2. Students paying fees by semester must settle their obligation by the deadlines indicated below:-
i. Semester I’s Tuition, Miscellaneous and Residence fees by August 30, 2024.
ii. Semester II’s Tuition and Residence fees by January 17, 2025.
Students must complete payments for the respective semesters by the deadline stated above. The
University does however understand that financing tertiary studies is a challenge and therefore offers a
payment installment facility. Students who are unable to pay their fees in full by these deadlines are
strongly urged to make use of the installment plan facility. Further details regarding the installment plan
are provided below.
3. Miscellaneous Fees are non-refundable and must be paid in full at the start of the academic year.
4. Students will not be allowed to start a semester with any balance outstanding from a previous
semester (Tuition, Miscellaneous and/or Residence). Where a balance remains for a previous semester
students will not be permitted to register. In instances where a student has registered for a semester
and a balance is outstanding for a prior semester, the registration for the current/upcoming semester
will be removed if the outstanding amount is not cleared ahead of the start of the new semester.
5. In addition to Point #4, students are required to be registered and financially cleared for the current
semester before commencing classes. Financial Clearance is dependent on the following conditions:
i. Payment of Miscellaneous fees for the academic year in full; and
ii. Either payment of the full Semester’s fees OR the establishment of an approved Installment
Plan which is being honoured. Access to all facilities and resources of the Campus will be denied until these conditions have been satisfied.
6. Financial Clearance is a requirement for all students to access assessments/examinations, which
includes mid-semester assessments. Students must either pay their fees in full at the start of the
semester or enter in, and honour, an approved installment plan with the Campus to allow an extended
payment schedule to satisfy their financial obligation. Students who are not financially cleared in
relation to their current semester’s fees will be denied access to mid-semester and final assessments/examinations.
7. Students who have been verified as being approved for Student Loans or other approved
scholarships/grants which satisfies their financial obligation will be allowed to select courses and will
have full access to all the facilities of the Campus.
