Before the increase, they were paying between $50 000 to
$81 000.
In a notice, MSU deputy registrar academic affairs, Dr
Kudzaishe Mudzingwa said the new structure is with effect from this semester
running from August to December.
Dr Mudzingwa said undergraduate students will pay between
$215 000 to over $359 000 per semester. The education faculty fee is the lowest
at $215 129 while medicine is the most expensive faculty at $359 212 per
semester.
Postgraduate students, who were paying about $81 000 last
semester, will now pay between $318 472 and $573 360 up to the Masters’ level
with some doctoral students paying $1 million.
Dr Mudzingwa said at least 50 percent of the fees must to
have been paid by the close of registration on November 4, with the remainder
expected by November 25.
“All students are expected to pay 50 percent of the fees by
close of registration on Friday, 4 November 2022. All outstanding balances must
be settled before the commencement of examinations by Friday, 25 November
2022,” he said.
Dr Mudzingwa said students with fee arrears will not be allowed
to sit for examinations.
“Students who paid the old fees and ancillary levy will
have the amount credited to their respective students’ accounts and should
check their status through the student portal,” he said.
MSU is following after universities such as University of
Zimbabwe (UZ) and Lupane State University (LSU) which recently hiked the
students’ fees citing rising operational costs. Chronicle
