The Adventist University of Africa Fee Structure 2023/2024 – Undergraduate and Postgraduate Fee Structure.
The Management of Pan Africa Christian University has released the 2023/2024 fee structure for all the courses/programs offered at the institution for 2023/2024.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Because AUA was established as a vehicle to serve part-time students across the African continent, the tuition fees have historically been set based on the country where the student is
working, while others are set, and others (such as food and lodging) depend on the campus where the student is studying.
When setting the fees on a country-by-country basis, the factor that is used is 100% of the wage for the Seventh-day Adventist minister in each country(also called the Wage Factor, or WF for short). AUA receives a significant financial subsidy from the Seventh-day Adventist church, and as such offers discounts to church employees.

Tuition and Fee Adjustments Students who withdraw from a class within the first 15% of the contact hours, or before 2 weeks
after the beginning of the academic period during which they were to complete an independent study are eligible to receive full tuition and fees for the class(es) withdrawn from. When a student registers for a class as Audit, the tuition rate for that class is 50% of the regular rate, but all other fees apply.
STUDENT HOUSING AND MEALS
Students studying at AUA typically travel to one of the campuses for the yearly session and may have a variety of options, depending on the location. Due to the wide variability in costs, the Registrar’s office will provide every student with an updated price list for that year and location.
