Transitional period
The present transitional provision is applicable to students who are not eligible for funding because of their nationality, who are registered at a university and who are liable for increased registration fees.
These students already enrolled in a study cycle in the Walloon-Brussels Federation between 2014 and 2022 inclusive remain subject to the provisions of the ARES circular which was applicable to them at the time of their enrolment, as long as they are in this study cycle and as long as they meet the conditions provided for by the circular concerned.
However, any interruption of at least one academic year will result in the application of the new system (fees increased to 2,505 euros) for all new applications from 2023-2024 onwards.
