Tuition and fees are assessed on the basis of a student's status
(resident or nonresident of Illinois), graduate program, as well as
the number of credit hours taken each term. In computing fees, 1 unit
is equivalent to 4 semester hours. A complete schedule of current
tuition and fees and an explanation of the eligibility requirements
for full or partial exemption are available from the Registration
Services Office, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Window
25,
100
Henry Administration Building,
506 South Wright Street,
Urbana, IL 61801.
Tuition is assessed in part on the basis of whether a student is a
resident or nonresident of the state of Illinois in accordance with
the University of Illinois Regulations Governing the
Determination of Residence for Admissions and Assessment of Student
Tuition . These regulations are published in the Code on Campus
Affairs and Handbook of Policies and Regulations Applying to All
Students. The Code is offered to all students during
registration and is available at the Registration Service Center in
the Illini Union; in
177
Henry Administration Building; and at the
Student Assistance Center,
107
Turner Student Services Building.
The
residence regulations and petitions for changing a student's status
are available on request from the Registration Services Office,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Window 25,
100
Henry Administration Building, 506 South Wright Street, Urbana, IL
61801.
Generally, in order to be considered a resident for the assessment
of tuition, a person must have been a bona fide resident of the
state of Illinois for at least six consecutive months immediately
preceding the beginning of any term for which he or she registers and
must continue to maintain a bona fide residence in Illinois. If
an adult student has at least one parent who is a bona fide
resident of Illinois, this six-month, continuous-residence rule is
waived as long as the student resides in Illinois during the period of
registration at the University.
Staff members of the University and allied agencies, including
teaching and research assistants on appointment for at least 25
percent of full-time services for not less than three-fourths of the
term as well as their spouses and dependent children, are treated as
residents for tuition assessment purposes as long as they hold their
appointments. Professional staff members and teachers in private or
public elementary and secondary schools in Illinois are also eligible
for in-state tuition charges. Persons who are serving on active duty
in one of the armed forces of the United States and who are stationed
and present in the state of Illinois, their spouses, and their
dependent children may qualify upon petition for the in-state tuition
rate. A student who is a U.S. citizen may also qualify upon petition
for resident status if he or she is married to a resident of Illinois
who meets all the requirements of the residence regulations. A
non-U.S. citizen who meets and complies with all other applicable
requiremen ts may establish residence status (by petition) unless he
or she holds a visa that on its face precludes an intent to reside in
the United States.
Students enrolled on campus may elect to pay tuition and all fees,
flight instruction costs, and University residence hall charges
(single-student housing only) in three approximately equal
installments. The first installment is payable by the due date shown
on the Post-Registration Statement (within the first ten days of
classes), the second is payable in October (March for spring
semester), and the third in November (April for spring semester).
Students electing the installment plan are assessed a finance
charge. Deferred installments and other charges billed through the
student accounts-receivable system are subject to a delinquent service
charge on any amounts not paid when due.
Individuals who have placed courses on their record prior to the
beginning of the term and later decide not to attend the University
may cancel their registration by 5:00 p.m. of the first day of
instruction for the term and avoid all tuition and fee
charges. Individuals who are ineligible to continue in the University
for actions initiated by the University based on academic,
disciplinary, or medical reasons before 5:00 p.m. on the first day of
instruction for the term have their registrations become void and are
not entitled to student privileges.
Students may not cancel their registration once they have used
fee-supported services. If they leave the University, they must
officially withdraw from the University.
Students who have been charged tuition and/or fees and later
withdraw from the University prior to the completion of 60 percent of
the term receive a refund on a pro rata basis. Assessed tuition, the
service fee, the general fee, and the transportation fee are refunded
on a pro rata basis less 5 percent of the assessed amount or $100,
whichever is less. The health insurance and health services fees are
nonrefundable. Students continue to be covered by health insurance and
are eligible to receive health services (if these fees were paid)
until the first day of instruction for the following term.
Before a refund is made to the student, the University must make a
refund to appropriate financial aid programs providing assistance to
the student. A student indebted to the University at the time of
withdrawal will have the amount owed deducted from the amount of any
refund available.
Students permitted to pay tuition and fees on the installment
plan, or who make no payment at all, and then withdraw from the
University are liable for the full amount of tuition and fees
originally assessed less applicable refunds.
Special refund policies apply to those who withdraw to enter
either active duty in the armed forces or other approved national
defense service.
