Fees
Application fees
- No public application, assessment or registration fee amounts are published for Regent International School — Sungai Petani campus. Parents should expect the usual one‑off admission charges that international schools commonly apply: a non‑refundable application/assessment fee at submission, and a registration/acceptance fee and/or enrolment deposit on offer acceptance.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The Sungai Petani campus does not publish a term‑by‑term or year‑by‑year tuition fee schedule online; therefore specific per‑term or per‑year numeric tuition figures for each year group cannot be provided here. Parents should obtain the campus' current fee schedule from the campus admissions office for exact per‑term and annual amounts.
- Typical fee structure components to expect (these are common line items at international schools in Malaysia, not campus‑specific amounts): tuition charged per term or per year (schools commonly invoice per term or per semester), a refundable enrolment/security deposit (often equivalent to one term's tuition), an annual facilities/technology levy, subject/exam fees for external assessments, and additional charges for specialist CCAs, private music lessons, school trips and devices.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The campus has not published a formal billing schedule or payment‑term policy for Sungai Petani. Common practice among Malaysian international schools is to invoice tuition before the start of each term (many operate on a three‑term or termly billing cycle), require payment of any acceptance deposit to secure a place, and to apply penalties for late payment. Parents should confirm the exact invoicing dates, instalment options and late‑payment terms directly with admissions or the accounts office.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding provision is indicated for Regent's standard Malaysian campus listings; the Klang campus FAQ explicitly states that boarding is not available, and campus listings / fee overviews for Regent do not show boarding charges.

Parents should ask for an itemised schedule showing which items are compulsory and which are optional.
Refund information
- No campus‑specific refund policy or exact refund terms for deposits and fees are published for the Sungai Petani campus. Standard international‑school practice in Malaysia (where published by peer schools) is that registration/acceptance fees are non‑refundable, a refundable deposit is returned only after required notice of withdrawal (commonly one full term's written notice) and subject to account reconciliation, and refunds for unused tuition are governed by the school's withdrawal and notice policy. Confirm the precise refund and deposit conditions with the campus accounts office before paying.
Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- The Sungai Petani campus does not publish a list of accepted payment methods online. Typical payment methods used across Malaysian international schools include bank transfer / direct deposit to the school account, credit/debit card payments (online or at the accounts office), and in some cases cheque. The Regent admissions portal and campus contact details are available for direct enquiries to confirm accepted payment channels and any transaction fees.
