Tuition Fees
Tuition fees at Qatar University are paid at the beginning of each semester- Fall, Spring, and Summer. Students are required to pay all amounts due for the current semester before they may advance for any future semester.
Fees can be paid by cash or cheque (for organizations) at the Finance Department Cashier's Office (located in the Student Activities Building). Please read more information about the Online Payment System and pay your fees using the Internet via Master & Visa Cards.
Tuition fees are assessed based upon the major of the course registered by the students and regardless of the major of the student. This means that two students from two different majors will pay the same tuition fees if registered in the same course.
