Registration Fees	USD 200 per semester (Fall, Spring and Summer Session), paid in cash dollars and non-refundable.
Operational Fees	USD 300 per semester (Fall and Spring Semesters), paid in 3 monthly installments in cash dollars, as per the deadlines specified on the Academic Calendar.
NSSF membership fees	USD 60 per academic year, paid in fresh dollars at the market rate. Students already affiliated to the NSSF or to an equivalent fund (Cooperatives, military, judges and lawyers, Lebanese University, municipalities) are required to submit an official paper at the NSSF Delegate Office. Students who are not affiliated to the NSSF are required to fill in an exemption form at the NSSF Delegate Office. In both cases, this process should be completed before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar). Students who fail to abide by this deadline will not be able to benefit from the NSSF coverage, and the above fees will be automatically credited to their account upon the 2nd payment of tuition fees. N.B.: Any person above 30 is exempted from the above fees and hence is not required to pass by the NSSF Delegate Office.
Payment procedure	Students should settle their tuition fees over four installments per semester and two installments for the Summer Session. The total tuition fees can be calculated according to the table below, noting that for the Fall Semester 2024-2025, students will pay 70% of tuition fees in fresh USD, while the remaining 30% are waived*. The first payment is equal to USD 800 and should be settled as stated in the Academic Calendar, in addition to the USD 200 registration fees. Failure to comply with the payment installment schedule as outlined in the Academic Calendar leads to a financial penalty calculated according to the amount due and a new installment date will be fixed by the University. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that all tuition fees are paid by the deadlines set by the University administration. * Provisions not applicable to international students. *Students enrolled in Double Degree Programs should pay the full tuition fees in fresh dollars.
Refunds	No refunds are granted unless in case of deregistration, and this as defined by the academic regulations.
Financial aid	Throughout the Financial Aid Office, USEK provides help to students facing financial difficulties. And it continues to do so, according to its mission, through discounts. The relevant application should then be duly completed and submitted within the set deadlines. As such, students with financial problems can fill the financial aid application before the scheduled deadline (See Academic Calendar).
