The University of Liberia (UL) has denied rumours that it plans to end its free tuition policy, reassuring students that the programme remains in place.

Concerns arose after many students encountered issues while registering for the new academic semester, leading to speculations about a potential change in the tuition-free policy.

On Monday, students reported receiving notifications in their registration portals requiring full payment of tuition before they could proceed with course selection.

Screenshots circulated online, showing messages stating that all undergraduate students had to make a 100 per cent fee payment before being allowed to register for courses. This caused panic among students, especially given the challenging financial situation in the country.

The free tuition policy was introduced by former President George Weah. However, Rumours suggested that the policy might be reviewed by President Joseph Boakai but UL officials confirmed that no decision to end the program has been made.

UL’s Director of Relations, Thomas Karyah, assured students that the free tuition policy remains intact and attributed the registration issue to a technical error from the service provider. He urged students to disregard the incorrect messages and proceed with their course registration as usual.
