Billing progress
Payment requests and refunds are mailed to the student and take place at fixed times during the academic year: after enrolment, first week of December, mid March, first week of May and first week of June. Within these fixed moments your tuition fee can change due to several reasons. Please make no higher payment than the amount asked on the payment request.
Billing progress
- Upon enrolment you will receive a standard payment request mostly for 60 credits or based on an estimation of credits your still need to take.

A payment request is always addressed to the student
If your company or employer wants to pay your tuition fee they can do so by using the reference mentioned on the payment request.
You can also make the payment yourself and ask for a proof of payment by sending an email to studiegeld@ugent.be.
This proof of payment can then be used as an expense report.
FYI: there is no VAT on the tuition fee. Therefore it is unnecessary to mention the name and VAT number of the company on the payment request.
Sanction in case you do not pay
For each enrolment there is a tuition fee to be paid
Please note that stopping your studies does not release you from the obligation to pay the tuition fees.
If you do not pay, either in part or in full, you will among other not be able to re-enrol.
