NEW ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear students

It has come to our attention that some students are confusing between the
planned face to face session which is due to take place in April 2013 and
the tuition fee of Tsh 90,000/= per unit for all programs which are
conducted by face to face mode such as B.Sc in ICT.

This is to remind you that, all students who have made a normal annual
course registration are eligible for the coming face to face session and
hence are not supposed to pay the 90,000/= as a requirement for
eligibility to attend this session as it has been misinterpreted.

Kindly further note that, all your compulsory  payments are clearly
indicated in your SARIS annual fee invoice; please do not pay anything not
included in your INVOICE

Regards
Lawi
