Incidental fees

Incidental fees are fees which students pay for specific courses in addition to tuition. Examples include field trips, learning materials, and special clothing worn during class, which they keep.

Incidental fees by discipline 2026-2027

Validity period

Incidental fees are in effect from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027.

Refunds

Unless otherwise indicated, incidental fees are refundable according to the dates specified in the important academic dates and deadlines.

A full or partial refund is possible if you’re no longer enrolled on the date specified. If this date falls on a weekend or a statutory holiday, the deadline is the next business day.

Direct costs

Direct costs are the actual cost of materials, services or activities provided individually to students for their exclusive use during a class or workshop. They can also be the cost of travel and/or accommodation for field trips. These costs will only be known shortly before the activity, so you will be asked to pay for them directly once they are known.
