  • During the tuition payment period, students who cannot afford their tuition fees have to submit a Tuition Fee Renewal Form (written with their valid reasons): (Student Information System => online application module). Students must make follow ups to know the answers from the Student Affairs Department (Student Information System => Online Application Submission => Application History) in order to pay the tuition fee based on the answer.
  • If students are successful in their Additional Registration for the Course, they will have to pay additional tuition fees according to the Finance Department's terms and conditions. Note: For special English modules, students should regularly update the Student Information System to fulfill their tuition obligations.

Regulations on Examination Conditions: There are 02 types of examination conditions in the same semester.

Examination Conditions on Tuition Fees:

If the students have not paid the tuition fee, or have paid less than the required amount, they will not be eligible for taking the examination of that particular semester.

In each semester, there will be two (2) periods to consider the requirements for the examination due to the debt of the tuition fee: midterm and final exams (including subjects without the examination schedule as well as English and MOS)

If students do not pay the tuition fee of that particular semester, the debt will be added to the tuition fees of the next (semester) one.

If students failed complete the tuition fee for an extra semester, it will be added to the next main (semester) one.

For example: If students owe tuition fees of extra semester 1

Tuition fees of semester 2 = tuition fees of semester 2 + tuition fees of extra semester 1

Consideration the examination conditions due to attendance:

Students who fail to meet the attendance requirements of each subject will not be eligible for taking the examination of corresponding subject.

3. Examination Schedule and Subject Assessment

Examination Schedule

Basing on the School year Plan, the Department of Undergraduate Studies (DEUS) will announce the examination schedule three weeks prior to the official examination date, through the following channels:

  • DEUS Website => News => Exam Schedule
  • Student Information System => Notification => DEUS
  • Student Information System => Exam Schedule

On the examination schedule, there are timelines for students to apply:

Transfer Exam Time (due to the same exam day, or in unexpected circumstances and the exam time of the same subject takes place on another day: Students must login the Student Information System => Apply online and follow directions.

  • For the Postponement of the Examination Time (due to the same exam day, or in unexpected circumstances but the exam time of the same subject does not take place on another day) Students must login the Student Information System => Apply online and follow directions.

In - class assessment: accounted for 10% - 6.0 points

Mid- term test: accounted for 20% - 7.0 points

    Final test: accounted for 70% - 4.3 points

Average score on Mathematics A = (6.0 * 10%) + (7.0 * 20%) + (4.3 * 70%) = 5.0 => Achieved
