Registration Fees |

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). |

Note:
The cost of a credit is not related to the School/Faculty to which the student is affiliated, but rather to the School/Faculty that offers the related course.
E.g.: A student registered in the Undergraduate Studies program at the Business School pays 350 USD for a business course credit, while he/she pays 137 USD for a language course credit.
These prices are applicable in all the USEK branches.
The cost of a credit is subject to change; the administration reserves the right to review and modify fees every semester (Student Guide, D.2). All likely modifications of a credit cost are reported in advance to students by email, through the University’s website and MyUSEK. It is the responsibility of each student to keep well-informed with the University’s news and announcements by regularly consulting these means of communication.
