Tuition and Fees
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, one unit is equivalent to four 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.
Residence for Tuition Assessment
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 of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students available at the Office of Admissions and Records, Window 25, 100 Henry Administration Building; the Dean of Students Office, 300 Turner Student Services Building; the Student Organization Complex, 280 Illini Union, or at http://www.uiuc. edu/admin_manual/code/index.html. 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 one year before initial registration. If an adult student has at least one parent who is a bona fide resident of Illinois, this one-year rule is waived as long as the student resides in Illinois during the period of registration at the University.
Academic staff and employees of the University and certain specifically identified related agencies 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 requirements 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.
Installment Plan for Payment of Charges
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.
Refunds
Cancellation of Registration
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.
Withdrawal 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 five 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.
