The UR academic year 2018/19 kicked off last Monday, November 12 with registration going on for the fresh and continuing undergraduates.
However, some students could not register, lacking the Rwf35,000 registration fees. Registration for the academic year 2018/19 which started on September 29.
“The University of Rwanda does not wish any student to miss classes and is allowing all students to provisionally register even before paying the required registration fees and start their studies,” the announcement reads in part.
“However, all students are required to have paid or to have agreed on a payment plan for registration fees not later than 15th December 2018,” the announcement signed by the Vice Chancellor of University of Rwanda, Prof. Philipp Cotton, states warning that “Failure to pay or to agree to a payment plan of the required registration fees by the above-mentioned date will result in cancellation of provisional registration for the Academic Year 2018-2019.”
All Principals, Campus Registrars and Campus Directors, as by the announcement, are required to take measures to ensure that no student is prevented from access to University services on account of not having paid registration fees.
Students who exclusively talked to IGIHE on being allowed to register without paying required registration fees to commend the University for the intervention and say they won’t miss classes which could affect their studies.
“I am very happy. I could not register online because I had not paid the registration fees due to family problems. Now that I can register, I will keep looking for that money and I hope to have got it by the deadline set,” says Alex Nshimiyimana, a level 4 student in Geology and Mining Department at UR College of Science and Technology.
