Botho University School Fees Structure

Botho University School Fees Structure

All Botho University programmes follow a credit-based tuition fee structure. Every programme consists of modules worth a specific number of credits. The number of credits for any module is available on www.bothouniversity.com under each programme. 60 credits per semester are normal full-time load. A student who wishes to take more than 60 credits in a semester requires special permission from the Dean.

The tuition fee for a module is thus obtained by multiplying the module credits by the fee per credit (for e.g:- if the module is 10 credits the fees payable per module for an Undergraduate programme will be 10 x 200 = P2000.00). The tuition fee for a programme can thus be obtained by adding the fees for all the
modules, calculated as explained earlier.

BOTHO UNIVERSITY FEE POLICY

  1. Purpose of the Policy
    The purpose of this policy is to set out to explain the tuition fee-charging principles of the University and how tuition fees are calculated.
  2. Scope
    The policy is applicable to all students of Botho University. The payment of fees is the responsibility of the student and, in the event of a student’s sponsoring authority (if any) failing to make payment, the student will be given a financial dropout status.
  3. Definition of Terms
    1. Tuition Fees- Annual amounts due to the University in respect of services provided.
    2. Sponsor – Organisations that may provide funds for or contribute toward tuition fees. These may be government, parents, employers, self-sponsored students
  4. Fee Calculations
    All Botho University programmes follow a credit-based tuition fee structure. Every programme consists of one or more modules where each module is worth a specific number of credits. The tuition fee for the module is thus obtained by multiplying the number of credits by the fee per credit. Certain modules that require specialized equipment may have an additional surcharge. The tuition fee for a programme can thus be obtained by adding the fees for all the modules required to be successfully completed by a student to attain that qualification. Please refer to the fee structure for more details.
