Cash, checks or credit cards are accepted as payment.  Visiting/short course students may pay their fees by cash, current dated check or credit card; post-dated checks will not be accepted from visiting (short course) students.

The undergraduate tuition and other fees may be subject to change at the beginning of the following academic year.

UD charges AED 500 for a returned check. No checks will be accepted from any student whose checks are returned twice. In this case, only cash and/or credit card payment is acceptable thereafter. It is the sole responsibility of the student to ensure all scheduled payments presented are properly provided for as management will not send reminders to the individual.

Bus service to students from the university will not be offered during the academic year 2011/2012.  However, the service may be outsourced to accommodate the transportation needs of the students. This will depend on the pre-determined minimum number of students requesting this service.
