Tuition Fee Payment Control On Registration Program

The data exchange between banks and the university is online concerning tuition payment. The payment information is reflected on the registration program when made at the banks.

The registration program controls the tuition payment of the students who are obliged to make the payment.

The tuition payment for evening graduate programs without a thesis is calculated on a credit basis. Thus, total payment control is made according to the number of credits that the course requires. Payment for a non-credit course is made as it is a 2-credit course (except for Graduate Seminar, Term Project, and Special/Advanced Studies).

Tuition payment control can be made on the program below:
