The registration fees payment entitles you to become a term member and thus to participate in the term activities such as lectures, study groups, educational travel programs and UfS cultural and social events. Registration fees are to be settled no later than the first week of the term. If the fees are not paid during that period, membership for the term will be canceled unless a compelling reason is presented to the Program Manager.

Deferment can be made for one term only when a compelling reason is presented to the Program Manager and no later than the first week of the term. The person whose membership is deferred is automatically considered a member in the following term yet should still fill the online registration form of the following term once it becomes available online.
