UWI St Augustine announced on 27 Wednesday July that there will be no change in fees for the Academic Year 2022-2023. This means that the fees outlined in 2021 remains the same. The full press release is shown below. The students will be going back in person in September 2022.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Trinidad and Tobago. Wednesday 27th July 2022 – The St Augustine Campus of The University of the West Indies wishes to advise the public that Chancellor Robert Bermudez has approved a request from the Campus to retain current tuition fees for the upcoming Academic Year 2022/2023. The request was made consequent to feedback from prospective and current students of the difficulty in committing to registering for the new year given the uncertainty about the new fee levels.
Principal Brian Copeland reiterated that, as the Campus looks forward to welcoming new and returning students in September, faculty and staff remain committed to serving students and the broader society to the best of its ability, and in keeping with its status of a globally recognized, world-class higher education institution.
He also commented that citizens who question the value of a University degree in the current economic climate, should come to terms with the fact that a University education is a lifelong investment. The emphasis right now should be on preparing oneself for the future when the economic challenges have significantly improved – those who are prepared for that certainty will be best able to seize whatever opportunities may arise. In that regard, joining the UWI St Augustine family represents the best value for money, given the fact that its fees are among the lowest and that its degrees are accepted and recognized globally.
After more than two years of remote teaching and learning, the St. Augustine Campus will return to face-to-face operations from September 2022, in time for the start of the 2022/2023 Academic Year. The administrative staff returned to physical work in June and the aim is to have the students on campus in the new academic year. The Campus Senior Management team is ensuring that physical spaces, such as auditoria, lecture rooms and laboratories are well prepared. Concessionaires will be returning while maintaining safety protocols for the campus community.
Students will have full access to conduct labs, visit the Alma Jordan Library and consult with lecturers. Halls of Residence will resume operations and will welcome students to the Joyce Gibson- Inniss Hall (Medical Sciences students), Sir Arthur Lewis and Canada Halls.
