Registration Fees
Registration fees are, for all sections and Regional University Centers,
150 USD per semester and are not refundable.
Membership Fees to the NSSF
The membership fees to the National Social Security Fund are annual and equal to

For students already affiliated to the NSSF or an equivalent fund, they will be required to submit an exemption form at the NSSF Delegate Office in order to remove the

MyUSEK, the University’s intranet and from the USEK website should be completed and submitted before the scheduled deadline (See
Academic Calendar).
Tuition Fees
The cost of a credit varies according to the level of studies and the chosen specialization. The complete table of fees is available on the USEK website. The cost of a credit is subject to change; the administration reserves the right to review and modify fees for the coming years. All likely modifications of a credit cost are reported in advance to students through bulletin boards, the University’s website and
MyUsek. It is the responsibility of each student to keep well-informed with University news and announcements by regularly consulting these means of communication.

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 or installment facilities. The relevant application should then be duly completed and submitted within the set deadlines. As such, students with financial problems may contact the SSO before the scheduled deadline (See
Academic Calendar). Beyond this date, students can only contact the SSO in order to pay their tuition fees in installments.
Notes
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 gives the credit in question.
In case of financial problems, proceed to the USEK Financial Aid Office.
Payment Procedure
The student should install his tuition fees in three payments per semester and two payments for the Summer Session.
Failure to comply with a payment installment, as defined in the Academic Calendar, leads to a monthly financial penalty calculated according to the student’s due amount. It is the responsibility of each student to make sure that his tuition fees were paid within the deadlines established by the administration of the University.
REFUNDS
No refunds are granted unless in case of deregistration, and this as defined by the academic regulations.
