Bachelor's Degree Fee Payment Procedures

Bachelor's students enrolling at UOWD are offered various payment plans. Depending on your chosen plan, a number of payment methods are available.

• Online payments: payments can be made online using a Visa or Master card by visiting our online payment portal. Please find the online payment link here.

Please note that only cash payments are accepted through Al Ansari Exchange branches and a transaction charge will be applied.
• Payments can also be made through major credit cards (not debit cards) by completing and submitting the credit card Payment Authorisation Form.

Note: Cash deposits to the UOWD bank account are not allowed.

Fee Payment Plans

• Traditional Payment Plan
• Progress Payment Plan
• Guardian Payment Plan

Note that in the first trimester only the Traditional Payment Plan is available for those students who require UOWD sponsored student visas.

For full details, please download UOWD’s Payment Procedures and Fee Policies.

Traditional Payment Plan

Fees can be paid by cash, cheque, or credit card. You must ensure all fees are paid in full before the start of the trimester, according to the number of subjects to be taken. All payments for the trimester must be made before the due date mentioned in the Academic Calendar.

Progress Payment Plan

Fees can be paid by cash, cheque or credit card in three instalments, as follows.

• 1st instalment – 50% of the total tuition fees for the trimester.
• 2nd instalment – 25% of the total tuition fees for the trimester.
• 3rd instalment – 25% of the total tuition fees for the trimester.

The dates for payment of instalments will be advertised by the Finance Department before the start of each trimester. If you elect to pay the fees under the Progress Payment Plan, you will be required to pay an additional charge of AED 420 per subject. Students who pay by post-dated cheques or give a credit card debit order for the remaining fee instalments are eligible to receive a discount of 50% (i.e. AED 210) on the additional fee paid per subject.

Students who default on any payment will automatically lose the privilege to continue with the Progress Payment Plan and will have to revert to the Traditional Payment Plan.

Guardian Payment Plan

Fees can be paid by cash or cheque only. If you select to pay your entire tuition fees for the degree upfront, you can obtain a discount of 10% on the total cost. This discounted amount will be given to you at the time of Graduation as a cash award.

Visa Sponsorship

If you wish to take up the UOWD Visa Sponsorship you should pay the tuition fees for the first trimester as per the Traditional Payment Plan. Following initial enrolment, sponsored students can make use of the various payment plans.

Financial Aid

Financial aid is intended to help students who have limited financial resources to fund their higher education. To be eligible for financial aid, you must meet certain eligibility criteria (see below).

You can only take advantage of one financial support scheme (scholarship, financial aid, discount incentive) at a time, and these schemes are not transferable to the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Eligibility and Selection Criteria

Applicants and their guardian(s) must be UAE residents or independent applicants must be employed in the UAE.

You must be able to provide documentary evidence of financial need.

First time applicants must be enrolling in their first trimester of study at UOWD and must enrol in the required number of subjects.

You must meet all the academic and admission criteria for direct entry to the University and intend to enrol in the relevant session for which you have applied.

Applicants will not be allowed to defer financial aid for more than one trimester after its award.

Renewal applications must continue to meet the financial aid requirements.

Review of Financial Aid

Financial aid awards are reviewed at the end of each trimester. Supporting documentation will need to be resubmitted for subsequent years of study and financial aid may not always be offered at the same rate.

Students failing to meet the requirements below will no longer be entitled to retain their financial aid and will have to pay the relevant tuition fees in order to continue their studies.

 

Application Procedures

Applicants who are eligible for Financial Aid must submit a Financial Aid Application form, along with the supporting documentation outlined in the application form, to FRED and registry services.
