These reviewed university rules pair an explicit full or 100% tuition option with a recorded duration such as the regular study period, four years, eight semesters or up to eight semesters. Alternative partial tiers remain alternatives, and “up to” is not a guarantee of every semester. Living costs and renewal are separate unless explicitly stated.
