Payment and Reimbursement

EEA students must pay a deposit upon registration with a credit or degree contract. In November 2022, the total tuition fees are calculated in accordance with the selected ECTS credits and taking into account the student's probable scholarship status.

Non-EEA students must pay the full tuition fee before the start of the programme. They'll also have to pay a mandatory insurance fee on top of the tuition fee.

Exception for students with a Distance Learning program

Students with a distance learning program do not have to pay the full tuition fee before the start of the program.

EEA Students

First deposit of the tuition fee

Upon (re-)registration, EEA students pay the fixed component of the payable tuition fee.

  • € 253,60 for non-scholarship-rate students and almost-scholarship-rate students upon registration with a credit or degree contract
  • € 115,80 for scholarship-rate students upon registration with a credit and/or degree contract
  • € 115,80 upon registration with an exam contract

You'll pay the sum of both if a registration contract with a degree or credit contract is combined with a registration with an exam contract.

Second deposit of the tuition fee 

In November 2022 the tuition fees are calculated in accordance with the selected ECTS credits and taking into account the student's probable scholarship status. This is the variabel part of the tuition fee.

Second invoice as a non-grant rate student

Non-scholarship-rate students are asked to pay the balance within 30 calendar days.

  • A first reminder will be sent mid-december 2022.
  • A final notice will be sent towards the end of January 2023.

If the student does not pay the outstanding balance within the term stated in the final notice, Hasselt University may unilaterally terminate the admission agreement and the amount due will be collected through a collection agency.

Second invoice as an almost-grant rate student or grant rate student

During the academic year, the probable scholarship status must be confirmed by an attestation from the Scholarship office. In case we do not receive any attestation of the Scholarship Office by June 2023, the tuition fee of a non-grant rate student will be charged.

Non-EEA Students

Non-EEA-students are invited to pay before the study programme starts.

Candidates from abroad are invited to pay the tuition fee and health insurance by separate email messages.

Using the structured codes sent in the email messages is compulsory. Payment of tuition fee and health insurance cannot be processed and linked to the correct candidate if structured codes are not used by transferring the requested amounts.

Your final registration as an international student is only possible after payment of the tuition fee, augmented with the premium for health insurance. Payment in cash or by credit card is not possible. As long as a student has not paid all outstanding registration fees the registration is suspended.

What after your payment?

  • Your student ID, the admission to the student’s electronic account and e-mail and electronic learning environment will be available.
  • You can only participate in exams if you have paid all outstanding registration fees. If this condition is not fulfilled, then your registration will be suspended. Any results that may already have been obtained are considered to be non-existent and you receive no credit attestations for the concerned course unit(s).

How to make your payment?

  • the payment must be made by international bank transfer by the students bank in his/her home country;
  • the transfer is payable to Hasselt University with the following reference: tuition fee – Name of the programme - Name of the student
  • account number: IBAN: BE77001018707942 – sorting code BIC:GEBA BEBB – FORTIS BANK – Ridder Portmanstraat 1 BE-3500 Hasselt
  • no banking costs must be charged to Hasselt University: in other words Hasselt University should receive the full amount of tuition fee (and health insurance)
  • include a proof of payment in your application file to facilitate the identification of the transfer

Reimbursement

Reimbursement when your academic programme changes

Students whose number of credits changes between the first calculation and June 2023 will receive a final calculation in June 2023.

Reimbursement when you de-register

The reimbursement of the tuition fee depends on the type of contract you're registered with at Hasselt University.

De-registration with a degree contract

Part of the tuition fees will be reimbursed to students registered with a diploma contract who terminate their studies prematurely. The reimbursed component will be equal to the original amount of the programme components for which the student deregisters.

The administrative registration fee of €115.80 is not reimbursed upon deregistration.

Attention: The de-registration must take place before the final dates indicated in the study guide

This proposal is in accordance with the regulations for de-registration as mentioned in Article III.4 of the Codex Higher Education.

De-registration with a credit contract

De-registration for programme components by students with credit contracts does not lead to changes in selected ECTS credits and thus does not lead to reimbursement of tuition fees

This proposal is in accordance with the regulations for de-registration as mentioned in Article III.4 of the Codex Higher Education.

De-registration with an exam contract

Students with exam contracts will not be reimbursed.
