FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT:<br />
Fees<br />
25<br />
1. How do I find out the fees for a Distance<br />
<strong>and</strong> Flexible Learning c<strong>our</strong>se?<br />
A comprehensive list of the fees for <strong>2007</strong> is listed<br />
in the <strong>2007</strong> Enrolment Guide, with an abbreviated<br />
version provided in the <strong>2007</strong> Calendar. Fees<br />
information is also available on the USP web<br />
site: http://www.usp.ac.fj <strong>and</strong> will be advertised<br />
in y<strong>our</strong> local newspaper in December 2006. As<br />
well as y<strong>our</strong> tuition fees, there is a range of other<br />
fees you may need to pay in order to study at<br />
USP. The staff at y<strong>our</strong> USP campus can assist<br />
you in calculating y<strong>our</strong> total fees.<br />
2. Do I need to pay my fees by a certain<br />
date?<br />
Yes. If you are registered for a 15-week c<strong>our</strong>se<br />
you should pay y<strong>our</strong> Semester I fees by 31 March<br />
<strong>and</strong> y<strong>our</strong> Semester II fees by 31 August. After<br />
these dates, a late payment charge of FJ$120<br />
(or the equivalent in y<strong>our</strong> local currency) will be<br />
added to y<strong>our</strong> fees debt <strong>and</strong> services such as<br />
those provided in the computer laboratories <strong>and</strong><br />
the library may not be available to you until the<br />
total amount, inclusive of the late payment fee,<br />
has been paid.<br />
Even if you withdraw from the c<strong>our</strong>se, you will<br />
need to pay the total amount, inclusive of the<br />
late payment fee, before you can register for<br />
another c<strong>our</strong>se at USP.<br />
3. Do I pay a fee to change or withdraw<br />
from a Distance <strong>and</strong> Flexible Learning<br />
c<strong>our</strong>se?<br />
No. But, if you are registered for a 15-week<br />
c<strong>our</strong>se <strong>and</strong> withdraw before 31 March in<br />
Semester I or before 31 August in Semester<br />
II, or are registered for a 30-week c<strong>our</strong>se <strong>and</strong><br />
withdraw before 4 May <strong>and</strong> have paid y<strong>our</strong> fees<br />
in full, you will be refunded the tuition portion<br />
of y<strong>our</strong> fees. Please note, however, if you are<br />
taking DFL c<strong>our</strong>ses at Laucala, Alafua, or Emalus<br />
Campuses you follow a different schedule of<br />
withdrawal deadlines – see the Principal Dates<br />
section on page 4.<br />
If you withdraw after these dates, but before 21<br />
April in Semester I or before 22 September in<br />
Semester II for 15 week c<strong>our</strong>ses, or before 3<br />
July for 30-week c<strong>our</strong>ses, you will not be eligible<br />
for a refund, but you will also not be assessed<br />
for the c<strong>our</strong>se. If you withdraw from a c<strong>our</strong>se<br />
after these second dates you will incur a ‘Fail’<br />
grade for the c<strong>our</strong>se.<br />
