General fees
All general fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
Fee statement and non-payment of fees
Prior to the commencement of each semester, the University will send
a broadcast notice to the existing students to compute and download
the “Fee Invoice” from the Monash University Malaysia website. In
the case of a new enrolment, the payment will be based on the letter of
offer to the new student. If you do not pay the tuition /general fees by
the due date shown, you shall be charged a late payment fee of RM 100
and a penalty of RM 100 for every month of non-payment thereafter. If
you continue to have outstanding tuition/general fees, your enrolment at
Monash University will be encumbered. This will result in the computer and
library access being withdrawn and the examination results being withheld,
and you will not be permitted to enroll in the following semester until all
outstanding fees have been paid. Further delays in paying the outstanding
tuition /general fees will result in your enrolment at Monash University
being invalidated. International students who are invalidated will be
reported to the Department of Immigration for the breach of student
pass conditions.
Extension of time to pay fees
If you are a re-enrolling student encountering financial hardship, you may
apply for a short-term extension of time to pay the fees by completing
the "Semester Instalment Plan Application Form" which may be obtained
from the Monash University Malaysia website (subject to terms and
conditions). You should apply only if you are suffering from serious
financial problems. The application must be submitted one week before
the first day of the teaching period of the semester. If you fail to pay by
the stipulated due date, you will be charged a late payment fee of RM 100
and a penalty of RM 100 for every month of non-payment thereafter. You
will also risk the invalidation of your enrolment. Applications for instalment
plan may not be lodged for added units.
