UNITE Unyama Dean Guides Students on Tuition and Payment Procedures

Students at UNITE Unyama Campus During Orientation

The Dean of UNITE Unyama Campus, Mr. Pario Lot Ewaku, has officially briefed students from both the May and August intakes, outlining key guidelines on tuition payments, academic sessions, and campus policies.

In his address, Mr. Pario emphasized the importance of cooperation and commitment among students, urging them to focus on completing their academic programs. He further clarified the difference between semesters and sessions, particularly for in-service students. According to him, “a semester runs for four months with 17 weeks, and for in-service students, each semester is divided into two sessions.”

On matters of finance, Mr.Pario reminded students that tuition fees are paid per semester while functional fees are paid annually. He stressed that all payments must be made directly to the bank, warning students against entrusting money to campus employees. “Employees are not supposed to accept any cash payments at any time. Students must ensure they keep their receipts safe and secure as proof of payment,” he advised.

He also announced that tuition may be paid in installments, provided all balances are cleared by the time of final examinations. Accommodation fees were set at Shs 300,000 for pre-service students and Shs 150,000 for in-service students. Additionally, each student is required to pay Shs 20,000 to the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE).

Mr. Pario clarified that meals are not provided by the institution, but students may arrange privately with accredited service providers. A circular on the new payment guidelines, issued by the Institute Secretary, who also serves as the accounting officer, will be shared across all student platforms to ensure compliance.

The Dean concluded by strongly cautioning students to avoid errors during payments and to seek clarification from the administration whenever necessary.
