The Finance and General Purposes Committee (F&GPC) of The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus has approved a Fee Payment Policy for students attending the institution .

The policy was agreed at the regular monthly meeting of the committee, held in the Council Room at Mona on Monday, November 22, 2004.

Under the terms of the fee payment policy, all tuition fees and miscellaneous fees will be due and payable at the start of each academic year. Students may opt to pay on a Semester basis. For Semester 1, all fees, (including any applicable late charges) must be paid by the last working day of September. Only in exceptional and verifiable cases of financial difficulty will consideration be given to allow payment beyond that date. Students seeking such permission must submit their situation in writing to the Customer Services Section of the Bursary within the first two weeks of the Semester, that is by the second Friday of Semester 1. Cases that are approved will be given extensions of payment based on a clear payment schedule, but such schedules will not be allowed to extend beyond the last working day of October.

For Semester Two, all fees must be paid in full by the last working day of January in that Semester.

Any student who fails to pay in full by the dates set for Semester 1 or 11 will be required to take Leave of Absence for the relevant semester (except for those in Semester 1 who have been granted extension, in which case all fees must be paid by the last working day of October, failing which the student will be given Leave of Absence).

Hall fees are payable by semester, in advance, and no later than one month after the start of the semester, failing which the student will be required to immediately surrender the room.
