The Mona campus of the University (UWI) has deregistered nearly 800 students after they failed to pay tuition fees, the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper reported Monday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The newspaper said that the students had failed to pay their tuition fee or arranging a payment scheme to meet the outstanding arrears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Efforts to get a response from the UWI have so far proven futile, but the newspaper said that the students were not allowed to sit their first set of exams for the academic year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It said that \u201cthis massive de-registration exercise\u201d has come as UWI toughened its stance on the requirement for students to pay their fees.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UWI is insisting that the full fee for each semester be paid or students enter into a payment plan with the university,\u201d the paper said, noting that in response to queries sent to the tertiary institution, an estimated  2,000 students were warned about being de-registered on October 3 as their accounts with the university were in the red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy October 6, [roughly] 1,200 of the 2,000 students either cleared their balance or applied for a payment plan. Approximately 800 students were delisted as a result of them not making an arrangement with the campus on October 7 out of a total of approximately 6,000 new students,\u201d the university said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Gleaner said that \u201cthere was no word from the university on the number of returning students deregistered\u201d but it quoted a source as saying that the figure is much higher than the 800 returning students and could be as high as 15 per cent of the total population of 18,000.<\/p>\n
