Tuition & Fees

NOTES:

1. Students should refer to the Academic Calendar & check their University emails on a regular basis to keep up-to-date on the due dates for payment & de-registration. 
2. If a student withdraws from the university before the last day of the first week of classes, 100% of tuition and fees will be refunded (this does not include the non-refundable enrollment deposit). If the student withdraws before the last day of the second week of classes, 50% of tuition and fees will be refunded (this does not include the non-refundable enrollment deposit). After the end of the second week, the student is liable for the tuition and fees in full, therefore no refunds of tuition and fees will be processed.  
3. Library fines are determined and administered by the Library Director.  
4. Other fees and charges are applicable for both UG and IEP courses. Students are responsible for the cost of their textbooks and other course materials and supplies. 
5. Government Scholarship students are subject to the PUC Scholarship rules and regulations. 
6. Siblings attending AUK may be eligible for a tuition fee discount – contact the AUK Finance Department for further information. 
7. Fees and charges are payable in the AUK Finance Department located in the first floor of the Administration Building. 
8. AUK accepts the following methods of payments:
   1. Checks
   2. Credit Cards
   3. Debit Cards
   4. Cash
   5. Payment gateway through AUK Self-Service
      (go to Online Payment)

Once an application has been accepted and the applicant has received an offer of admission from AUK, the applicant is required to confirm his/her enrollment by submitting a KWD 100 non-refundable enrollment deposit to the AUK Finance Department. The deposit will be adjusted with the student’s first tuition payment, and it is only valid for two regular semesters from the semester of admission.
 
If the AUK Finance Department does not receive the enrollment deposit, the applicant will be considered not attending AUK and cannot register for courses.

AUK reserves the right to recover any amount due, including any additional costs incurred as a result of a collection process or legal action, and, if necessary, to forward financial obligations owed to AUK to a collection agency and/or to initiate legal proceedings.

All registered students who have not paid their tuition fees and charges, or who have not made financial arrangements with the AUK Finance Department, will be automatically dropped from their courses on the day student fees and charges are due.

Full Payment 
All student fees and charges are paid on the day of registration. This means that students pay in full the fees and charges upon completion of their registration. 
 
Deferred Payment Scheme 
Should a student decide to participate in the Deferred Payment Scheme, s/he pays 50% of his/her tuition and fees upon completion of his/her registration (inclusive of the Enrollment Deposit for newly-admitted students). The remaining 50% is paid in monthly installments, within a maximum of 3 months for the regular semesters.

• Dropping courses per the provision outlined in the University Catalog. 
• Withdrawal from the semester or AUK per the provision outlined in the University Catalog; or
• Due to “extenuating circumstances”.

• Withdraw from courses by completing a “Withdrawal from AUK Form” and submitting it to the Office of the Registrar. 
• Provide a letter of request and verifiable written documentation supporting the request to the director of the Finance Department.

“Extenuating circumstances” may include death of an immediate family member, call to military duty, legal proceedings, and medical illness requiring hospital stay. Students receive their refund checks in their name. Management will have the final discretion in deciding refunds on a case-by-case basis when student withdrawal from AUK is due to extenuating circumstances.
