The university has put in place a system of admission fee waivers (full or half of the amount) or deferment. This system is available on request and subject to review to students who are deemed to have an outstanding academic record and who are having trouble paying the admission fee due to financial reasons, or in cases where the person covering the student’s university expenses passes away or is affected by a natural disaster of some kind, such as storm and flood damage, during the year prior to admission at the university.
