To avoid debt from tuition fees to the point of being forced to drop out of school

If you do not pay tuition, you must have an extension application in case of difficulty.

For a long time, universities have had clear regulations on tuition payment and announced them to students so that they can understand clearly. These include specific regulations on the time for paying tuition, in which cases there is an extension and for how long, and what measures will be taken if tuition is not paid properly and is owed...

It is known that all these regulations are included in the academic regulations built by schools based on the circular promulgating student regulations for the 2016 full-time university training program of the Ministry of Education and Training.

New students complete admission procedures and pay tuition fees at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year

Master Dang Kien Cuong, Head of Student Affairs Department of Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, said: "Currently, the school's tuition fees are paid by semester via bank transfer. Each semester, the school will have a specific announcement. In case students have difficulty paying tuition fees, the school will also instruct them to apply for tuition deferral, the extension period is 3 months".

According to Master Cuong, in case a student does not pay tuition on time and does not submit a request for tuition extension, depending on the severity, he/she will be disciplined in the form of not being allowed to register for courses in the next semester, being banned from taking semester exams or being forced to drop out of school.

At Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, tuition fees are also collected by semester by bank transfer. Accordingly, the school will announce the teaching plan, course registration time, tuition payment time, semester start date on the Training Department website and notify students 2 months before the next semester starts.

Master Nguyen Thi Xuan Dung, Director of the school's Media Center, shared: "In case students with especially difficult circumstances cannot complete tuition fees within the prescribed deadline, students need to apply for an extension and submit the application within the tuition payment deadline. Students who do not complete tuition fees and do not apply for an extension are considered students with tuition debt."

It is known that the school's academic support department will contact students who owe tuition fees to confirm. Accordingly, the school will cancel the course registration for students who no longer continue to study at the school. As for students who cannot pay tuition fees due to difficulties, the school will advise on study loan policies or provide instructions appropriate to each student's situation.

According to Dr. Nguyen Van Kha, Deputy Director of the Admissions and Communications Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, students currently pay tuition fees by semester. In addition to direct collection, the school still encourages students to pay via account.

In the case of students who owe tuition fees, the school also creates conditions for students to extend if they are facing difficulties. In especially difficult cases, exemptions and reductions are also applied, depending on the level. "If students do not pay tuition fees and do not submit an extension application, they will be recorded as in debt and will not be eligible for graduation," Dr. Kha informed.

In case students with special difficult circumstances cannot complete tuition fees within the prescribed deadline, students need to apply for an extension and submit the application within the tuition payment deadline.

Get a scholarship from paying tuition fees

Master Xuan Dung commented that universities often announce transparent and clear tuition policies, so it is quite convenient for students to build financial plans for their university studies.

"To avoid having to pay tuition fees or encountering difficulties in studying, taking exams, and graduating due to tuition fees, students need to discuss with their parents to proactively plan their finances throughout their university years, as well as plan the finances for each school year and each specific semester to have careful preparation. During the learning and living process, if there are any expenses, students need to balance them with other expenses or ask their parents for advice to resolve them promptly," Master Dung noted.

In addition, if students are in difficult circumstances, Master Dung recommends that they proactively learn about and register for scholarships, loan policies, and study support; register to work as collaborators in school departments, and work part-time outside to earn extra living expenses.

"If students cannot pay tuition on time, they can apply for an extension and explain the difficulties so that the school can advise and guide them. This way, they can ensure their learning rights as well as complete their studies smoothly and conveniently," said Master Dung.

Master Dang Kien Cuong said that there are many reasons for tuition debt, however, paying tuition is the obligation and right of students, so students need to be responsible to themselves, their families and the school in paying tuition.

"From paying tuition fees, students also have the direct benefit of receiving scholarships. For example, students with good grades will receive scholarships equivalent to the tuition fee, those with good grades will receive scholarships higher than the tuition fee, and those with excellent grades will have enough money to cover living expenses," shared Master Cuong.

It is known that at many universities, the scholarship fund worth tens of billions of dong for students with excellent academic achievements, students with difficult circumstances... are all drawn from tuition fees. Therefore, fulfilling the obligation to pay tuition fees is also a condition to receive scholarship benefits.

"When you feel that your family's support is not enough, you can proactively find a suitable part-time job. If you encounter difficulties (maybe temporary), you should share them with your teachers and friends to get support. Especially your academic advisors," Master Cuong advised.
