Decision on the assessment of tuition fees
If you have been assessed a tuition fee, you can appeal against it under Section 68(5) of the Higher Education Act.
Appeal period
The appeal period starts the day after the day of delivery of the letter and lasts 15 days. If the 15th day falls on a weekend or public holiday, the appeal can still be filed on the first working day following, either at the post office or in person at the ICC. For students and persons with interrupted studies, the decision is sent via the UWB Portal and the deadline for filing an appeal is also indicated there.
The delay may be excused for serious reasons. The request for condonation of the delay must be substantiated and must be served together with the appeal.
How to appeal step by step
- Download the appeal form or go to the ICC reception to collect it,
- the appeal must be in writing and contain all the specified elements (name and surname of the applicant, mailing address, birth number, student number, reference number of the decision on the assessment of the fee, reasons for the request, date, and signature),
- you can apply for a fee waiver, fee reduction, postponement of the due date, or review of the decision — specify in the application exactly what you are applying for,
- in Annex no. 2 of the Statutes of the UWB, you will find the relevant reasons and further information,
- all the reasons you give in your appeal must be supported by the necessary documents — the exception is the weighted grade point average,
- you can bring the appeal in person to the IPC, send it by post or by data box.
Based on the stated and documented reasons, the fee may be reduced depending on its severity. Only for serious reasons may the fee be waived.
If you need advice before submitting an appeal, come in or call the ICC. We will be happy to advise you.
Decision on the appeal
The UWB has 30 days to process the appeal. In the second-stage decision, the UWB only comments on the reasons stated and documented in the application. The decision is final on the date of its delivery and cannot be appealed. The methods of service are the same as for the first instance decision. Students and persons with interrupted studies are served via the UWB Portal, and persons with completed studies by post or by post.
Tip: The second instance decision does not include payment details for the fee. These are in the first instance decision, so please save it.
