Liberia: No Decision by UL to Increase Tuition to US$7 Per Credit

The attention of the Administration of the University of Liberia (UL) has been drawn to information circulating on social media by some unauthorized individuals seeking to mislead our students and the public by announcing a purported increase of tuition  to US$7.00 per credit hour. 

According to a release from the Office of the Vice President, University Relations, headed by Cllr. Norris L. Tweah, this information is false as there is no decision reached by the UL Administration to charge our students US$7.00 per credit hour for academic programs at the University. 

The UL Administration encourages students, staff, and the public to remain calm and only subscribe to official information regarding academic activities which are always communicated through our various platforms as well as on public and private media outlets.

Additionally, the UL Administration calls on students, staff, and the public to remain calm as the Administration works to release a revised calendar for the resumption of classes for the pending second semester of academic year 2022/2023.

We urge everyone seeking official information to utilize the University’s website: https://ul.edu.lr/  or visit our Facebook page which is named “University of Liberia – UL,” and can be accessed via https://www.facebook.com/theuniversityofliberia.
