University sets deadline for payment of fees, or face expulsion

The University of Liberia (UL) has set 30 April 2021 as the deadline for all students to complete payment of their tuition and fees, or risk being dropped from the UL E-portal system effective from 1 May, because of the alarming increase in arrears of tuition and fees to the tune of about US$1 million, reports The New Dawn.

“On April 30th, you will be clocked out of the university system, you will not be a current student, all that you have done up to midterm will be turned to zero and you will be out of the university,” UL President Reverend Dr Julius Julukon Sarwolo Nelson told a live press conference on Wednesday 21 April on the Capitol Hill campus.

Flanked by UL officials at the press conference, Nelson said this policy should have taken effect during the last academic semester but was deferred to this semester to allow for more publicity. But the UL president says the non-payment rate has further heightened this semester, thus necessitating the enforcement of the policy.
