Tuition, Fees, Deposits and Refunds:
Applicable as of Fall 2024. Fees are reviewed each Academic Year and are subject to change.
Fees and Expenses:
All tuition and fees are due and payable before the beginning of each term. Special arrangements for payments in two instalments may be made upon request. The cost for establishing a Deferred Payment Agreement is 250 MAD if a student qualifies for AUI-sponsored Financial Aid, or 500 MAD otherwise.
Late or Failed Payments:
Failure to make the full payment of a debit balance by the due date (after the add/drop period) will automatically fall under the “Deferred Payment Agreement” category and will result in a late payment fee equal to 2% of the remaining amount due for each late business week (Monday through Friday). For example, a payment that is 15 to 21 days late will result in a late payment fee equal to 6% of the required amount, with a maximum of 3000 MAD per instalment.
Failure to make the second payment on time, including the payment of any late fees, will result in the student being administratively withdrawn from the University. The University will take all legal action against the responsible party to collect unpaid amounts in accordance with the Deferred Payment Agreement. In addition, if installment dates are not respected, the student will not be allowed to pay in installments in the future, and a financial hold will be applied, blocking preregistration for the following semester. Furthermore, no document will be provided, be it a certificate, an attestation, a transcript, or any other document.
The student is the sole party responsible vis-à-vis the University with regard to payment and communication matters Payments can be made by wire transfers, cash deposit in banks, online credit card payments, or certified bank checks. They are subject to change each academic year at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.
Registration Fees: 5100 MAD
All registered students must pay registration fees regardless of status. Students who defend their theses, capstones, or internships before the end of a semester receive a prorated reimbursement of their registration fees. Registration fees cover fixed costs, such as student health services, student activities, athletics, swimming pool access, restaurant access, and IT services.
Tuition:
Semester tuition is calculated on the basis of total credits taken, except for students enrolled in the Language Center, who are charged a flat amount.
- Undergraduate students allowed to register for graduate courses to satisfy undergraduate degree requirements are charged undergraduate tuition. Undergraduate students wishing to register for extra graduate courses are charged graduate tuition for each graduate course.
- Graduate students enrolled in Foundation Courses are charged graduate tuition for these courses.
- 3International applicants qualify for Moroccan tuition if 1) one parent is Moroccan, or 2) both parents are non-Moroccan but have lived in Morocco and paid income tax (IR) here for more than five years.
- 4Except for Language Centre tuition and testing charges, visiting students pay the same fees as AUI students.
- 5Students doing an internship as the last degree requirement and who will graduate immediately following the internship should register and pay the common fees. Students doing an internship who will not graduate immediately following the internship should not register or pay common fees. Instead, the internship will be charged and registered to the subsequent semester (fall).
- 6Alumni Tuition Discount: Reflective of the value AUI places on its graduates and alumni, as well as the importance AUI gives to lifelong learning, starting August 2016, the University will offer a 25% tuition discount on all part-time graduate degrees to its alumni (who have completed an undergraduate degree at AUI).
Combined Programs Tuition (BS/MS):
Students enrolled in combined programs pay undergraduate tuition for undergraduate courses, and graduate tuition for graduate courses.
Summer Session Fees:
- Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in summer session courses pay tuition according to registered credit hours.
- Other fees are fifty percent (50%) of the regular charges for a full semester.
- Students enrolled in the Language Center during the summer session pay the equivalent of three credits for each LC course.
- Students enrolled in FAS courses during the summer pay the equivalent of two credits for each FAS course.
- Students enrolled in “AWG Academic Writing and Grammar “during the summer pay the equivalent of 6 credits.
Student Identification Cards (Cash Wallet):
Student Identification Cards (ID) are provided to enrolled students by the Business Office after the payment of all tuition. Replacement cards are available from the Business Office for a fee of 100 MAD. Students are responsible for providing their own photographs. In the case of a lost ID card (cash wallet), the student must notify the Business Office immediately in order to block the old card and issue a new one. Students are recommended not to bring their cash wallet cards into close contact with a computer, laptop, TV set, printer, heater, or water.
“Cash Wallet” refers to money applied to a student’s account and available for use on campus only (copy center services, copy machines, restaurant, and the AUI store). Students make deposits to their cash wallet on an as-needed basis. At the end of the semester, the balance related to the cash wallet is shown in the account of the following semester. The final refund of the balance can only be done at the end of schooling after the graduation ceremony or withdrawal at the conclusion of the final clearance procedures.
The management of personal money for off-campus needs is the responsibility of the students themselves. The post office on campus offers students the possibility of opening savings accounts that provide them with flexibility in managing their money.
Any additional money can be loaded either through:
- https://my.aui.ma/ICS/Students/My_Cash_Wallet_Transactions.jnz (online transaction)
- Cash or credit card at the cash desk (Business Office)
Health Insurance:
Health insurance is mandatory for full-time students. Details concerning the University’s contracted insurance company and the coverage offered are available at the Student Health Center.
Student health insurance premiums amount to 1320 MAD for a full year’s coverage, beginning in January and ending in December. This amount is payable in three installments and at the beginning of each semester or session:
1. Spring semester: 550 MAD
2. Summer session: 220 MAD
3. Fall semester: 550 MAD
The insurance company representatives are available on campus during the registration period.
