Fee Payment Policy

Late Registration Fee

Internship Courses

Zero-Credit Courses

There is no fee for a course numbered 749, or 769, if the student is approved to take the 769 course for 0 credit hours. In a few departments zero-credit courses are actually laboratories which are a required part of another course. They are numbered separately for scheduling purposes, but no additional fee is charged.

Financial Delinquency

The University expects the student to be financially responsible and not to be delinquent in financial obligations to the University or to any department or division thereof, including room and board payments to sanctioned fraternal student organizations. Such obligations do not include fines and penalties assessed against the student by other than University offices and departments.

Financial obligations that are not met within 10 days after the date due are reported in writing to the proper office. Obligations to any division or department are reported to the office designated by the Vice Chancellor for Administration -- Lexington campus.

The appropriate business office notifies the student of the financial obligation. If the student does not settle the obligation by the date designated on the notice, he or she will, subject to regulations promulgated by the Vice Chancellor for Administration -- Lexington campus, be considered delinquent, and that office shall notify the University Registrar.

After the University Registrar has been notified that a student is delinquent, the registrar will not allow the student to register, request an official academic transcript, or transfer credits, nor will the registrar award the graduation diploma, until the Registrar's Office has been notified in writing by the appropriate business office that the obligation has been settled.

HEALTH CARE

For the regular fall and spring semesters, payment of the mandatory registration fee by full-time students entitles them to medical and mental health care at University Health Service. Part-time students may pay the health fee or use the Health Service on a fee-for-service basis. The health fee is voluntary for all students for the summer sessions. University of Kentucky Health Service, University Hospital and other University of Kentucky Medical Center programs assume no responsibility or liability for medical expenses incurred by students beyond those covered by University Health Service. For more information on the health fee or the services provided, call (859) 323-5823.

STUDENT ID CARD -- UKID

All students admitted to the University (both full-time and part-time) are expected to obtain a student ID card. This is a permanent card, which becomes valid each semester when fees are paid. The first ID card is provided without cost. The following information will help you understand your responsibility and how to fully utilize your UKID.

• Your UKID is the official identification for class attendance and tests, Student Employment Services, and student elections.
  
• The bar code on the front of your card is your library account number.
  
• By opening a "Plus Account" you may make purchases from Food Services (including residence hall vending machines and card accessible laundry), the UK Bookstore, Kennedy Book Store, Wildcat Textbooks, and the UK Medical Center Bookstore. You can buy tapes at the language lab, pay breakage fees in the chemistry lab, and numerous other features.
  
• When you live in a residence hall it will access your "Diner Account."
  
• It's your "key" in residence halls with key card access.
  
• Present your UKID at Health Services if you are a full-time student, or a part-time student who has paid the health fee.
  
• Open a "copy account" and use card-operated copy machines.
  
• Purchase event tickets at the Student Center Ticket Office or Singletary Center for the Arts.
