To promote academic excellence and expand the diversity of the student community at RSU, the Tuition Fee Regulation sets out the following tuition fee categories for students in the English-language Medicine and Dentistry programmes.
The tuition fee payment schedule and deadlines are specified in the Annex to Study Contract that each student signs with the University. The tuition fee must be paid in accordance with the schedule and deadline.
If a student has unforeseen difficulties in paying their tuition fee, or has specific questions on a financial matter (bond money, academic leave, dropping courses, resuming studies, continuing studies after failing a course) the relevant faculty has to be contacted for further information.
The application period for tuition fee discounts takes place in the second study month every semester.
Refunds
If a student terminates their studies at RSU, they are able to receive a partial refund of the tuition fee they have paid. Each refund is calculated individually by the RSU Finance Department. The sum is determined based on section 7.4 of the student’s contract.
To receive a refund, students need to fill out the "Payment refund/transfer" form that can be found in the "Applications and Inquiries" section of the RSU Services page. It needs to be submitted via the myRSU portal after they have officially left their studies. The payment can take up to 60 days after the official date that the student terminates their studies to be processed. To avoid delays, exact bank account information should be entered on the application (including IBAN, SWIFT, and BIC codes).
Applications for tuition fee discounts are only accepted when submitted during the application period – announced every semester in myRSU;
Applications are only considered when submitted with an official application form (including supporting documents, if required) electronically via the myRSU portal. (Exception: the discount for academic excellence. This discount is granted automatically. Students do not need to submit an application.)
The form can be found in the “Applications and Inquiries” section: Applications>Financial matters>About granting a discount on tuition fee).
Extensions
To receive an extension on a tuition fee payment, students need to fill out the "Review of the tuition fee payment term" form that can be found in the "Applications and Inquiries" section of the RSU Services page and submit it via myRSU portal. Once the application has been received, RSU management reviews the application and the student is informed about management's decision via their RSU e-mail. The application has to be submitted at least 1 (one) day before the tuition fee deadline.
