University of Kentucky Undergraduate Bulletin

2002-2003

FEES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE AND INCREASES MAY BE NECESSARY IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

Late Registration Fee

All continuing students are expected to priority register each semester for the next semester. New students are assigned a specific date for registration. Any student who registers after the regular registration period will be charged a late registration fee of $40.

Auditors

All auditors are charged the same fees they would pay for credit.

Internship Courses

Students taking internship courses (e.g., courses numbered 399) must register for the course during the term the internship is taken and pay all required semester fees. In no case shall students be allowed to defer registration and payment for summer internships to the following fall semester.

Zero-Credit Courses

Some University courses are offered for 0 credit hours. The fees for these courses are based on the number of hours per week the course meets, so that the cost of a 0-credit course which meets one hour per week is the same as the cost of a 1-credit course for a student in a particular classification (i.e., resident, nonresident, graduate, undergraduate). Zero-credit courses are counted as part of the student load for fee payment purposes and for purposes of issuing ID cards.

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 Senior Vice President for Administration.

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 University of Kentucky 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.
• Pick up football and basketball tickets and use your UKID for entry to other UK campus events.
• Purchase movie tickets for the Worsham Theater.
• Use the Seaton Center and campus swimming pools/recreational facilities.
• Use your UKID for printing in the computer labs.

If you lose your UKID, report the loss immediately to the UKID Office (257-1378), the Diner/Plus Account Office (257-6159), or any food service location. Any financial charges/transactions made with this card are the responsibility of the student. A replacement ID may be obtained for $10 in 107 Student Center. After receiving two replacement ID cards, students must obtain authorization from the Dean of Students for further replacement. The UKID is the property of the University of Kentucky and is to be returned to the Dean of Students upon termination of student status.

You may cancel your registration before the first day of class by using UK-VIP. See below for dropping a class with a W grade.

All students, including degree seeking, non-degree seeking, and visiting students, who wish to leave the university during a term (fall, spring or summer) must formally withdraw.

There are three methods of withdrawing from the University of Kentucky:

1. withdrawing in person at the Registrar's Office in 10 Funkhouser Building;
2. requesting withdrawal from course work via fax; and
3. mailing your withdrawal request to the Registrar's Office.

In person: A student is required to come to 10 Funkhouser Building between 8 A.M. and 4:30 P.M., Monday - Friday and complete an Authorization to Withdraw card. Additional signatures may be required depending upon the student's enrollment status. The date noted on the Authorization to Withdraw card will serve as the student's official withdrawal date.

Fax request: There are circumstances in which a student cannot physically appear to withdraw. For these cases, the Registrar's Office will accept a faxed request for withdrawal. The date of the fax will serve as the official date of the withdrawal. The fax number is (859) 257-7160.

The information needed for the fax request is:

• full name
• SSN (social security or student number)
• list of courses
• term

UK-VIP (the University's touch-tone telephone registration system) will not allow a student to completely withdraw from classes. Complete withdrawal can be accomplished only by the methods detailed above.

NOTE: After the last official day to withdraw from a term, the student must start the withdrawal process beginning with the dean of the student's college. (Senate Rule, V.1.8.3). A student should contact his/her college's student services office for more details concerning this process.
