USP gives one week grace period to allow students to clear dues

The University of the South Pacific has re-activated the accounts of deregistered students.

A statement says students with outstanding fees now have until Thursday, October 27 to pay in order to be allowed to sit their exams.

The deadline applies to students, both in Fiji and the region.

The regional tertiary institute came under heavy criticism last week for deregistering students and blocking their accounts because they owed tuition fees.
