Development Fee
A new and fast growing university like CUIB needs to serve anticipated population growth and avoid overcrowding. CUIB’s population has increased from 295 when it started in 2010 to 1900 students in 2016. This growth is unprecedented. The CUIB Development fee was prescribed by the Board of Trustees of the University for every Student to assist the university to assure adequate educational facilities. Each year, this fee goes to support the Master Plan or strategic infrastructural development of the University. Through this fund, the university has been able to address its population growth. During the Parent’s week-end, the President appreciates the parents of this philanthropic gesture to support the establishment of adequate educational facilities for their children.

Commencement Robes
Regalia are required to participate in CUIB’s Commencement Ceremony. As in most US universities where students are asked to order from their University stores the approved regalia, CUIB provides to its graduating students with gown, tassel and hood, honour medallion and alumni pins (the eagle) which is specific to CUIB only. It is part of CUIB’s tradition that students who enroll in the BSc 4 year undergraduate programme own their commencement regalia. This tradition is unique to CUIB as it helps students bond with their university as true alumni. Keeping their regalia reminds them of the need to grow in learning as scholars (those who live to learn and are good at it) and it is expected that in the future they can show their academic regalia to their children and children’s children of the importance of hard work, Character and Spirituality. With this regalia, they become true eagles of CUIB from the City of Saints and Scholars. Cost: 50.000 FCFA for Senior Class only
GMAT, GRE and TOEFL
GMAT, GRE and TOEFL
Most of our students after graduating with a BSc degree desire to further their studies abroad
in America and to a lesser extent in Europe. Most of the Universities abroad offer admissions and scholarships to students’ based on their GMAT/GRE/TOEFL results. It is for this reason that, the Catholic University Institute of Buea is planning to operate a center which will offer GMAT, GRE and TOEFL. The center will help the students to prepare, register and write the GMAT, GRE or TOEFL exams while in school. In this way, at the time of graduation, the students will be ready to apply for their MSc or MBA programs in any University abroad. Our goal is to adequately prepare the students with the necessary resources that will enable them to have the same competitive advantage with their peers in other countries all over the world. These programs have standard registration fee applicable worldwide but the university will be charging an additional running cost as course preparatory fee. The programs are OPTIONAL.
