Financial Aid
Students who require assistance to finance their programme of study at the University are encouraged to discuss their financial situation early with their Site administration so that we can help you identify the available options.
Payment Plan
Is paying for your higher and continuing education becoming more difficult?
Do you have questions such as:
- What is financial aid?
- Will there be awards or scholarships available?
- Can I pay my course fees in stages?
- What happens if I can’t pay?
Who can I talk to in confidence about my situation?
We Want to Make It Easier for You
We understand how difficult the current economic environment is for many students. In fact, we have held back the base price of many of our courses and programmes, for several years, in order to make it more affordable for many of our students.
As we work towards making this Global Campus work for you, our very valuable students, we would like to assure you that we are here to help you to achieve your academic and personal goals.
Guidelines for the Payment Plan Agreement
Our Payment Plan Agreements provide short-term financial assistance to cover tuition fees only and are approved for one semester at a time.
It is not intended that Payment Plan Agreements should be the normal way in which students finance their entire programme. However, we recognise that there are students who may need this form of assistance in order to complete their studies.
Eligibility
1. Only students who are in good financial standing will be allowed to apply for the Payment Plan during the registration period.
Process
- Students login to their portal during the registration process and select Payment details, make payment online and select the UWI Global Campus Student Payment Plan Application Form.
- The student will be prompted to submit a series of responses.
- If the student owes outstanding fees, they will not be permitted to continue with the application.
- The student will upload a copy of their payment details.
- After the application is submitted an automated response will be given to students acknowledging receipt of their submission and the need to ensure all fees are paid. If fees are outstanding the request will not be actioned.
- Failure to make payments, or present evidence of payments, made by the due date will mean that a student is in default of payment and the actions outlined in the Default Statement will be implemented.
- Failure to pay fees and/or to have an approved Payment Plan Agreement, during the registration period, will mean that a student is in default of payment and the actions outlined below will be implemented.
Default Statement
Failure to pay as per the agreed payment schedule and/or failure to present evidence of payment by the due date(s) will constitute a breach of the Payment Plan Agreement and students will be considered to be in default.
In the event of a default, the registration/academic record will remain and the following actions will be taken:
a) Placing a financial hold on the student record
b) Debarment from future registration in any course or programme of the University
c) Withholding of examination results and results of other assessments
d) Restriction to academic and administrative services
e) Restriction to transcripts, certificates and other records of status
f) Restricted access to the University’s systems and facilities
