Planning
Understand the full cost and the period to which each charge applies.
ACADEMIC PURPOSE · PRACTICAL CAPABILITY
Online bachelor’s tuition is charged per trimester, campus bachelor’s tuition per semester and master’s tuition per module. Compare the billing period as well as the amount. The table below incorporates the published NIU fee structure and the requested USD 145 / UGX 600,000 campus bachelor’s reference.
USD-based indicative conversions use the published planning rate of USD 1 = UGX 4,150. UGX-based charges are retained as their base amounts. The official invoice states the payable currency, current amount and due dates. Ask Finance to document the approved instalment arrangement.
The published progression policy credits eligible same-field PGD modules graded B or better where master’s study begins within three years. A one-off progression charge of USD 1,350 applies, followed by charges for remaining modules and the applicable supervision. Obtain a written credit decision before budgeting.
