Tuition Fees

Tuition at Deraya varies by college and program. Fees are typically paid in installments during the academic year. This page summarizes how billing works, how to pay, and the refund policy. (As of Nov 2025.)

In recent years, the university has implemented policies to try to make higher education more affordable for students, such as offering scholarships to students.

How Billing Works

  • Per program: Tuition is set by college/program (Business, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy).
  • Installments: Tuition is paid in two installments per semester (or four per year) unless your admission letter states otherwise. The first installment is due before the start of the first semester; the second is typically due two months later.

  • What’s included: Tuition covers instruction and standard academic services. Certain courses, labs, clinical uniforms/equipment, insurance, or exams may carry program-specific fees listed on program pages or your offer letter.

How to Pay

  • On campus: University treasury/cashier (card accepted).

  • Bank deposit/transfer: Use the university’s designated bank account; include your student ID in the payment reference.

  • Electronically: Instapay now accepted; include your student ID in the payment reference.

  • Receipts: Keep your payment receipt; upload proof if requested by Student Finance.

Scholarships & Financial Support

Deraya works to keep higher education accessible through scholarships/discounts published each cycle. Eligibility and application steps are announced on the Admissions page.

Tuition Refund Policy

If you withdraw, the following deductions apply to the semester’s tuition (administrative fees are non-refundable):

  1. Before classes begin: 10% of the semester’s tuition is deducted (90% refundable).

  2. Within 1 month from the start of the semester: 50% of the semester’s tuition is deducted (50% refundable).

  3. After 1 month from the start of the semester: 100% deduction (no refund).

  4. Exception (military/police colleges): The third clause (no refund) applies to students who enroll in military or police colleges during the first semester, provided official proof is submitted.

Example: If semester tuition is EGP 50,000 and you withdraw 2 weeks after classes begin, the refund is EGP 25,000 (50%).
