An important point to be kept in mind!
We would like to expressly point out to you that, in principle, all students must pay tuition fees. If, in spite of the obligation to pay the tuition fees being identified, the fees have not been fully transferred or not transferred in good time to the HCU account, the HCU is authorised in accordance with article 42 section 3, no. 4 to remove you from the student register.
