Contract payment: terms and conditions for students
Students studying on a fee-for-service basis at higher education institutions are given the opportunity to pay the contract amount in 4 installments during the academic year. The initial payment terms for first-year and senior students are different.
**Contract payments: Detailed terms and conditions for students**
The payment terms and conditions for students studying on a contract basis in higher education institutions are clearly defined. According to them, students admitted to the first year must pay 25 percent of the contract amount by September 15. For students of the second year and higher, this period is set to October 1.
**Subsequent payment stages:**
* **50 percent:** by January 1
* **75 percent:** by March 1
* **100 percent (full):** by May 1
**Possibility of extending payment terms:**
The specified payment terms can also be extended. The authority to extend the initial payment term for first-year students is vested in the State Admissions Commission. In other cases, rectors of higher education institutions have the right to extend the payment terms. For example, for the 2025-2026 academic year, the deadline for paying the first 25 percent of the contract amount for first-year students was extended until October 30.
**Financially independent HEIs and non-state universities:**
State higher education institutions and non-state universities that have been granted financial independence can independently determine the amount of the contract and its payment terms.
**Obtaining a contract agreement:**
Students admitted to the first year and studying in higher courses can submit an application for a contract payment through the kontrakt.edu.uz electronic system to receive a contract payment.
**Payment terms for a super contract:**
The possibility of paying the contract in installments also applies to a differentiated payment contract (super contract). However, applicants planning to study on the basis of a super contract are required to pay 50 percent of the initially determined amount. After that, the remaining part of the contract will be paid in installments according to the general procedure.
