Graduate
Student Deadlines for the Tuition and Fee Bill
Tuition
and Fees
Fee bill charges are e-mailed to your HuskyMail account
as you register and are payable on or before the Tenth
business day of the semester. Failure to
make payment on time will result in late fees, cancellation
of registration and residence hall, and other privileges
accorded a student (see Financial Responsibility below).
Registration is not complete — nor is the residence
hall assignment confirmed — until all semester fees
have been paid.
A
graduate student may defer payment of his/her fee bill if
one of the following criteria is met:
-
The student has a graduate assistantship and has applied
on-line for a payroll deduction contract and has been
approved
- A
third party (government sponsor or company) is paying
the bill
-
The student has a scholarship designated to pay the bill
(student must request a deferment on-line and follow-up
with a copy of the scholarship letter)
- The
student is receiving a waiver as part of a collective
bargaining contract
(Note:
Students taking only GRAD 398, 399, 498, or 499 are not
eligible for a deferment).
A
receipt for payment or evidence of an approved deferment
must be presented to complete registration. Partial payment
of tuition and fees will be accepted however the bill must
be paid in full for holds to be released.
Financial
Responsibility
Failure to receive a bill does not relieve a student of
responsibility for payment of fees by the specified due
date. A student who fails to make timely payment of an outstanding
balance may be barred from all privileges normally accorded
to a student in good standing. These include but are not
limited to: advance registration, registration, class attendance,
advisement, dormitory room (for which any assignment may
be cancelled), dining hall, library, infirmary, certification-of-status,
and academic transcript privileges. Additionally, any pending
University of Connecticut employment authorization may not
receive approval or may be subject to cancellation. If there
is a question concerning a bill, it is the student’s
responsibility to contact directly the Office of the University
Bursar for clarification and resolution.
Late
Payment Fee
A late payment fee of $6 per day is payable by all graduate
students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full on
by the tenth business day of the semester for a period not
to exceed an additional ten business days. Checks returned
by the bank for any reason are considered late.
Returned
Check Fee
Checks returned by the bank for any reason are considered
late payment and are assessed a $25 fee. Students may have
services denied if all fees have not been paid by the due
date.
Reinstatement
Fee
Graduate School regulations require registration in each
semester by all graduate degree program students. Students
at the Storrs campus, at the Avery Point regional campus,
or at the Health Center in Farmington who fail to complete
initial course registration by the end of the first day
of classes of any semester may be dropped from active status
and will be required to pay a penalty fee of $65. (Additions
to and deletions from a student's initial registration and
payment of the resulting adjusted fee bill can occur freely
through the end of the tenth business day of the semester.)
The reinstatement fee is added to a student's bill along
with any late registration/ payment fee that has accrued.
A
student with an unpaid reinstatement fee is not allowed
to register, have an official transcript issued by the Registrar's
Office, obtain a deferment of any fee payment date, retain
a key to a room in the Graduate Center, or use the services
of the Babbidge Library. A student with an unpaid reinstatement
fee is not considered to be in good standing by the Graduate
School.
Board
Fee
Graduate students living in a graduate residence hall may
purchase meals on a cash basis at Jonathan's (a campus restaurant
located in the Student Union) or at the guest rate in a
University dining hall, or may choose to subscribe to the
board plan in a University dining hall.
Failure
to pay the board fee as billed does not relieve the student
of the financial obligation. If a student gives notice of
cancellation to the Department of Residential Life, the
student will be held responsible for payment of the board
fee.
Health
Insurance
All full time students are required by the University to
maintain health insurance coverage. If you are covered by
your private health insurance (or parent’s) and a
student health insurance charge appears on your student
fee bill, go to the Student
Health Services website to waive the charge.
Students
who fail to provide proof of coverage via submission of
a waiver card will be enrolled automatically in the University
sponsored plan and will be charged a premium on their student
fee bills.
Full-time
students should inform the Student Health Service whenever
a change occurs in their health insurance coverage, including
any termination of health insurance benefits provided to
graduate assistants.
All
non-immigrant international students will be required, at
the time of registration, to show evidence of adequate insurance
coverage for basic medical, major medical, and repatriation
expenses. This requirement is a condition of admission and
registration. International students should consult the
Division of International Affairs, Department of International
Services and Programs, regarding compliance with this requirement
and assistance in enrolling in an approved insurance program,
if necessary.
