University of Kentucky Undergraduate Bulletin

2003-2004



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

 

 

Fee Payment Policy

Students should pay registration fees in full or enroll in the Installment Payment Plan (IPP) prior to the first day of classes each fall and spring semester (approximately three weeks prior to the fall semester and four weeks prior to the spring semester). Please see the official University calendar for exact dates; or visit this Web site: www.uky.edu/Registrar-old/newhome/CALENDAR. For additional information on the Installment Payment Plan, see: www.uky.edu/StudentBilling/account/installment.

Students who have not paid their fees or enrolled in the IPP by this deadline will be cancelled from all courses and their meal card, PLUS Account and other student services will not be available. If classes are cancelled, the student may late register; however, UK cannot guarantee the same class schedule. Students who late register will be assessed a $40 late registration fee.

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.

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.

Personal Expenses (not payable to the University)

Books and Supplies. Range from $200 up, depending on the student's major field of study and schedule of classes for the semester. Students may use their Plus Account for purchases at the University of Kentucky bookstore, Kennedy Book Store, WildCat Textbooks, UK Medical Book Store, and LCC Bookstore. Plus Accounts may be established in any whole dollar amount at Student Billing Services, Blazer Dining, Student Center, Commons Market, and Food Storage. For more information about Plus Accounts, call (859) 257-6159.

Laundry. For students living in the residence halls and Greg Page apartments, laundry facilities for personal items are provided. (Students living in University Commons on Red Mile Road have a washer and dryer in each apartment.) Students activate the laundry machines through a card access system called the Plus Account. Students may establish a Plus Account in any whole dollar amount at Student Billing Services, Blazer Dining, Student Center, Commons Market, and Food Storage. Local cost for this laundry service is comparable to that in any city. For more information about Plus Accounts, call (859) 257-6159.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY

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;
  3. mailing your withdrawal request to the Registrar's Office; and
  4. drop or withdraw from all courses using webUK or UK-VIP.

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:

Mail request: The student may mail a written request for withdrawal to the Registrar's Office. The address is:

Student Records
10 Funkhouser Building
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY 40506-0054


The postmark will serve as the official date of the withdrawal. Information for withdrawal via mail is identical to that of the fax request.

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.

REFUND and FEE LIABILITY POLICY

Tuition refunds or outstanding fee liabilities for students who officially withdraw through the Registrar's Office, or who change their status from full-time to part-time or further reduce their part-time status through Add/Drop, will be made according to the following schedule. All dates are those designated in the official University Calendar.

After last day to officially withdraw per University Calendar - No Refund

Refunds are based solely on the date of withdrawal, regardless of whether students attend any class(es). As required under section 484B of the Higher Education Act (HEA), to assure recovery of federal financial aid funds, a special refund schedule applies to those students receiving Title IV financial assistance who withdraw (officially or unofficially) during the academic term.

A student not paying tuition fees and subsequently leaving or officially withdrawing from school will be held liable for one-half of those fees. In the case of nonpayment, he or she will be declared delinquent subject to the penalties imposed by the institution for financial delinquency.

Questions concerning fee payment procedures may be directed to the Ombud for Business Affairs, 203 Gillis Building, (859) 257-1841. Questions concerning tuition refunds may be directed to the Registrar's Office, Funkhouser Building, (859) 257-8729.
