Fees
Students may pay fees for the entire year or by semester. Students should first select their courses through online registration in CHOL, which will generate a bill of fees payable based on your registration. Fees can be paid on Campus, at any branch of the Barbados National Bank or through the bank of Nova Scotia or RBC Bank of Canada online payment system.

A UWI student ID number is required for fee payment.

Students can view their account balances by following these steps after logging into CHOL:

• Click on Student & Financial Aid
• Then click on Student Records
• In the menu that appears, students can view their account balance information in a summary by term by clicking on Account Summary by Term. Alternatively, an overall summary can be displayed by clicking on Account Summary.

N.B.: Students are required to settle their accounts at the time of registration and no later than September 12, 2008. Students will not be allowed to write examinations for courses for which they are not registered.

Academic Counselling
All new students must receive academic counselling prior to registering. For required counselling, new students are asked to go to the designated Counsellors specified for your faculty.

Continuing students should arrange with the Academic Advisor assigned to them a convenient time to meet to discuss their progress and intended registration for the new academic year. It is important for students to make use of the services of their academic advisor to ensure a trouble-free registration period.
