The Student Financial Services (SFS) Office is responsible for providing Qatar Foundation (QF) Finance Department with students' registration details (credit hours, class level & sponsorship) at the start of each academic term. Based on this information, QF Finance Department issues tuition invoices and sends them directly to students via email.
Students are responsible for ensuring that all tuition and fees are paid on time to avoid academic or financial holds on their records.
Tuition Billing and Payment Details
Due tuition and fees must be paid directly to the QF Finance Department. For tuition payments or related queries, please contact QF at email: financesupport@qf.org.qa
It is important to note that Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) neither issues invoices, nor collects tuition fees. WCM-Q supports and facilitates the payment process as requested by QF.
QF Finance Department issues and sends tuition invoices and payment instructions to students directly by email according to the following timeline:
- Fall Semester: Invoices are issued at the beginning of September
- Spring Semester: Invoices are issued in mid-January
Students are required to pay all due tuition and fees before the end of the invoiced semester. Students enrolled in the Foundation Program and Premedical Curriculum are charged tuition for all semesters of enrollment. Students in the Medical Program are charged tuition for eight full semesters (four academic years). However, students who exceed eight semesters of enrollment will still be charged relevant student fees for each additional semester in which they remain enrolled.

Tuition Fees and Academic Hold
At the end of the semester, QF Finance Department notifies the WCM-Q Registrar about tuition payment defaulted students and request to place their academic records on hold. Students on academic hold will not be able to register for the subsequent semester, view their grade reports, access their transcripts, and/or receive their diplomas until they pay all the outstanding balances.
