–Billing system glitch being addressed ahead of September semester

THE University of Guyana (UG) has reaffirmed that tuition and facilities fees for Guyanese students are now fully funded by the State, in keeping with the Government of Guyana’s policy which took effect in January 2025.

The institution said it is working to update its Students Records Management System (SRMS) to reflect the change in time for the new academic year, beginning September 2025.
Since the State is paying the cost per student, invoices will still be generated internally within the SRMS, but will not be payable by students. However, a glitch in the system has caused some students to still see invoices on their accounts.

“The University appreciates the error being flagged, and regrets any inconvenience that may have arisen as a result… We deeply appreciate the consideration and gracious patience of our

students as the necessary changes to the new system are made and tested in the coming weeks,” UG stated in a release.
The technical team has moved to correct the issue to ensure Guyanese students no longer see the non-billable invoices.
