The long awaiting 2022/2023 Academic Facility User Fees has been released and its related fees came to an end when the Division of Treasury and Fund Management released the fee structure for the academic year.
The policy guide contains a categorical statement on how the 2022/2023 fees are supposed to be paid and the mode of payment.
UICTFontTextStyleBody;">There have been talks about fee increments for the past weeks among Tertiary students and management. There were reports of excess charges by some universities about AFUF(Academic Facility User Fees) and RFUF( Residential Facility User Fees) which sparked many reactions from various student unions in the country with NUGS as the leading voice.
NUGS proposed to various universities to stay with the 15% threshold as approved by Parliament and directed by GTEC, then again asked Universities to accept 50% part payment of fees to ease the fee-paying burden on students and parents as thus will certainly provide ample time for the fulfillment of such duty.
UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Based on that, the University of Education, Winneba in its policy guide has accepted the 50% part payment and has given students(Continuing students) a month(up to January 31) to make payment as the date for the other half will be sorted through.
