Tuition fee charges are determined on the basis of enrolment status and not actual attendance. This means that if you stop attending, but do not formally withdraw or interrupt you will be liable for tuition fees until the point in time that you officially notify the University.
If you decide to withdraw from a course you must notify the Student Office in writing of your decision. In the absence of written notification of withdrawal, you shall be assumed to be in attendance and as such liable for the payment of tuition fees for the academic year.
It is important that you are aware of the financial implications of withdrawing during the course of the academic year. Withdrawal deadlines for academic year 2023/24 are as follows:
Students’ Enrolment Term |
Withdrawal Date | % of Academic Year Tuition Fee Payable |
Autumn | on or before 16th October 2023 | AED3,000 |
between 16th October 2023 and14th January 2024 |
50% | |
after 15th January 2024 | 100% | |
Winter / Spring | on or before 5th February 2024 |
AED3,000 |
between 5th February 2024 and16th April 2024 |
50% | |
on or after 17th April 2024 | 100% |
An administration fee of AED 3,000 is chargeable for Autumn enrolments withdrawing on or before the 16th October 2023 and Winter / Spring enrolments on or before the 5th Feb 2024. Any student progressing from the MDX International Foundation Programme to a UG programme who withdraws before these dates would be charged an administration fee of AED 1000.
Where payment has been made in excess of the tuition fee charged (including non- refundable deposits) the overpayment will not be refunded, however the credit balance may be carried forward to be applied against future tuition fee charges. The credit may be carried forward for up to one academic year.
Tuition fee charges are determined on the basis of enrolment status and not actual attendance. In the absence of written notification of withdrawal or interruption, you shall be assumed to be in attendance and as such liable for the payment of tuition fees for the academic year.
Fees paid for the attended academic year cannot be carried forward and the new published fee will apply at the time of re-enrolment. Students returning to study following withdrawal / interruption will be charged the tuition fee rate applicable to “new students” for the academic year they re-enrol.
Leave of absence and withdrawal : Students may take an approved leave of absence (withdrawal) and still retain their scholarship for up to one academic year, provided they receive permission from the Director’s Office. If students interrupt their programme, the awarded scholarships and grants will also be automatically cancelled.
