Makerere university administration has revoked the policy on payment of 60% of fees by the 6 week of semester and has instead introduced a commitment fee of 200,000 shillings which every student will be required to pay with in the first two weeks of a semester to qualify for registration, if approved by the stakeholders committee that was
set up by the prime minister to review the fees policy.
The new draft policy was announced last week by the deputy vice chancellor of the university in charge of finance and administration Barnabas Nawangwe during news conference that was held at the university hall.
The new draft fees policy has three windows of payment including window one, were students will only be registered upon completion of payment of approved functional and tuition fees by the end of the 6th week of the semester.
The second mode of payment, students will be required to pay all functional and tuition fees as well as a late fees payment charge equivalent to 5% of all fees for the semester by the end of the 12th week of the semester. And the last payment mode is for the students who pay their school fees who will apply to the vice chancellor to pay under a monthly payment plan.
