KNUST FEE PAYING FEES AND COURSES/PROGRAMS
Fee-paying students are required to pay their tuition fees directly to the University or, if eligible, may access FEE-HELP to cover some or all of their tuition fees. The annual fee for a particular program is based upon the standard full-time enrolment of 24 units per year.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEE PAYING AND REGULAR STUDENT.
Now lets look at the difference between a fee paying student and a regular student;
- Tuition fees for fee-paying students are extravagantly high as compared to regular students.
- Regular students normally have to meet the cutoff point before they are admitted to study a particular program. However, fee-paying students just have to meet the minimum requirements to study a program.
- The fee-paying policy mostly applies to foreign students, but Ghanaians who haven’t met the minimum cut-off point can also apply and pay the same fee as foreign students.
