Student tuition and fees, established by the Board of Trustees, apply equally to all students. These fees represent approximately 34 percent of the University's general revenues. Additional revenue sources include state appropriations, donations, endowment income and federal appropriations.

Each student is responsible for understanding and complying with University policies and for paying established fees, which are updated regularly in catalogs, fee-payment materials, and on the University's Web Site. Application for admission, as well as subsequent registration, constitutes acceptance of these terms. The University reserves the right to revise its policies, fees and other charges. Any revisions to policies or rates apply to all students. In most cases, the University provides advance notice of such changes.

The University of Delaware offers an affordable choice for students seeking a private-quality education at a public price. The following fees, approved for the 1997-98 academic year, are subject to change for the 1998-99 academic year, which consists of the fall and spring semesters. (Fees and expenses for the summer and winter sessions and for the graduate and Continuing Education programs are published separately.)
 

	Delaware Residents	Delaware Residents	Non-Residents	Non-Residents
	Semester	Academic Year	Semester	Academic Year
Full-time Tuition	$2,060.00	$4,120.00	$5,875.00	$11,750.00
Room/Meals	$2,385.00	$4,770.00	$2,385.00	$4,770.00
TOTAL	$4,445.00	$8,890.00	$8,260.00	$16,520.00

Full-time tuition covers registration for 12 to 17 credits per semester. Room and meal fees listed include the most used combination of a double room in a traditional residence hall and meals seven days per week. All full-time undergraduate students pay the full-time tuition charge, which includes regular course, laboratory, library, athletic and recreation facility fees.

Tuition for Additional Credit Hours. For each undergraduate credit hour in excess of 17, students pay an additional charge at the per-credit-hour rate ($172 pre credit for Delaware residents;  $490 per credit for non-residents in 1997-98;  fees subject to change for 1998-99).

General Expenses. In addition to semester bills, students should be prepared to pay about $575 per year for books and supplies, and $1,300 for transportation and miscellaneous other expenses.

To qualify as a Delaware resident for tuition purposes, the student or parent of a dependent student must have been domiciled in Delaware for at least twelve consecutive full months as of the first day of class in which such classification is sought.

A determination of status for tuition purposes is made when a student is accepted to the University or when he or she first enrolls as a Continuing Education student. Questions concerning residence status, especially in complicated situations such as military service, custody or guardianships, should be directed to the Admissions Office at the time of application. Students seeking a change in classification after enrolling at the University must complete an application form.

For more complete information regarding this policy or to obtain an application, contact the Registrar's Office or visit the Student Services Building.

HOW DO I APPLY FOR A RESIDENCE HALL ROOM?

Room Applications. Newly admitted students automatically receive a residence hall application. Current students receive applications and instructions from Housing Assignment Services. Single freshman students are required to live in University housing unless they live at home with a parent or guardian. Requests for exceptions to this policy, along with an explanation of the student's exceptional situation, must be submitted in writing to the Manager of Housing Assignment Services. (Read about Residence Halls in the Student Life and Activities Chapter for additional policies.)

For the fall semester, sufficient space is set aside to accommodate all new freshmen and transfer students who want to live on campus during their first year. Freshmen and transfer assignments are made on a first-paid basis, and they are announced in August. Students (both freshmen and transfer students) whose housing applications and deposits are on file by May 1 are guaranteed on-campus housing.  Current upperclass students who wish to ensure a housing assignment should apply by the deadlines published in the current housing application packet.

The order of housing assignments for currrent students is based on a computerized set of criteria, including the number of semesters a student has lived on campus. While an effort is made to satisfy each student's housing preference, the University cannot always fulfill requests for certain spaces or areas. Students who sign an Academic-Year Student Housing Agreement promise to pay the full-year residence hall charge for the space assigned to them.

To apply for a residence-hall space, new students submit the completed room application, along with a $100 deposit, to the University Cashiers Office. Current upperclass students submit the application and a $200 deposit. The deposit is credited toward the academic year residence hall charges.

Of the $100, $50 is not refundable. New students who cancel their housing applications for the fall semester in writing on or before June 15 will receive a partial deposit refund of $50. Students who cancel after June 15 or fail to occupy the space assigned will forfeit the entire $100 deposit. For new spring semester applicants, $50 of the $100 is refunded only if written notice of cancellation is received by the Housing Assignment Services Office by December 18. The cancellation policy for current upperclass students is explained in the application instructions.

Students who sign the Housing Agreement are financially responsible for the cost of the room through the end of the academic year from the date of sign-in and occupancy. Those who sign the Agreement at the beginning of the fall semester, for example, will pay the total amount listed below under Academic Year. The fall charge for these students will be equal to the amount listed below under "Per Semester."

Students who sign-in and occupy their room any time after the beginning of the fall semester will pay a prorated portion of the Per Semester charge, determined by the date the agreement is signed. Complete details of the Agreement and all residence hall policies are available in the Official Student Handbook.

Because the Agreement for a residence hall space is binding throughout the entire academic year, cancellation is permitted only under specific and/or exceptional circumstances approved by Housing Assignment Services. Failure to pay residence hall charges does not constitute cancellation of the Agreement. (Unpaid bills are included on the student's University account.)

Students who wish to be released from the Agreement should submit a written request to the manager of Housing Assignment Services. If the request is approved, a partial rebate may be offered. Room rebates will be calculated based on the actual number of days that the student occupies a room, plus an additional two weeks charge.

For new, single undergraduate students only, the University does extend a grace period of ten working days. During this period, a student may be released from his/her Agreement and receive a partial rebate, based on the refund policy stated above. "New students" are defined as those who have never previously been enrolled at the University of Delaware at the Newark campus. Grace periods are provided at the beginning of the fall and spring terms only.

Whenever the occupancy of a room or apartment falls below 100 percent and Housing Assignment Services does not expect to be able to fill the space, the remaining student(s) assigned to that space have two options. They can:

(1) Pay for the vacant space for the remainder of the semester, so that no new student will be assigned to that space.

(When this situation occurs during the fall semester, Housing Assignment Services reserves the right to assign the space, if necessary, for the remainder of the year, beginning with Winter session.)

(2) Elect not to pay for the vacant space and continue to live in that room for no additional charge.

(However, Housing Assignment Services may assign a new student to that space at any time.)

NOTE: If space permits, Housing Assignment Services may offer the remaining student(s) assigned to that space the same two options for Winter Session and/or spring semester.

Room rent does not include insurance for the personal belongings of students. Such coverage would be an unnecessary additional charge in the many cases, since property may be protected under a family homeowner's policy. The University assumes no responsibility for loss of or damage to personal property. Occupants of residence halls are encouraged to insure their personal property if necessary.

Four 'all-you-care-to-eat' dining halls offering a wide variety of menu choices are available across campus: Russell on East Campus, Rodney on West Campus, Kent on Central Campus, and Pencader on Laird Campus. Dining Services also provides numerous snack and meal locations, including facilities in the Trabant University Center, convenience markets, restaurants and concessions. A registered dietitian is on-hand for free personal consultations regarding special dietary needs.

DINING PLANS FOR STUDENTS IN RESIDENCE HALLS

Each dining plan consists of a certain number of weekly meals to be used in any of the four dining halls, plus a certain number of "points" per semester. Using points, students can buy food at the Trabant University Center, other campus snack locations, restaurants, convenience markets and concession carts. (Additional points may be purchased at the Student Services Building, the Value Transfer Stations, or the University Box Offices.) Unused points from summer session, fall semester and/or Winter Session may be carried over to the next semester/session. At the end of the spring semester, however, all unused points are forfeited and have no refundable value.

Dining plans are valid and billed on a per semester/session basis. For residence-hall students with an Academic-Year Student Housing Agreement, the effective dates of the housing and dining agreements are the same.

SELECTING AND CHANGING DINING PLANS

After the student arrives on campus, dining plan selections may be changed one time between the day that classes begin until the published change-of-registration deadline for classes. For spring semester, the fall dining plan selection will automatically be reassigned unless the student makes a formal request to change, using the Choose or Change form.

CANCELING DINING PLANS

1. A student is released from the Academic-Year Student Housing Agreement.

2. Cancellation is warranted for medical reasons, which are documented by the Student Health Center and after consultation with a Dining Services registered dietitian.

3. Residency is in the Christiana Towers Apartments, the Graduate House, College Towne/Conover apartments or off-campus, and the request is made by the academic drop-add deadline.

If the Dining Services Agreement is officially canceled, your student account will be credited based on a proration of unused dining plan meals for the remaining days in the term less two weeks (14 days), plus the value of any unused points. Any credit balance in the student's account may be transferred to a UD1 FLEX account.  For sessions or programs other than the fall or spring semesters, applicable refunds will be calculated in proportion to the semester refund schedule.

DINING PLANS FOR CHRISTIANA TOWERS APARTMENT RESIDENTS AND COMMUTERS

Option 1: Christiana Towers Apartment residents and commuters may select any dining and/or points plan. The deadline for changes or cancellations coincides with the published change-of-registration deadline for classes. The minimum purchase for a Christiana Apartment & Commuter Points Plan is $150, but the student may purchase any amount over that minimum. Unused points balances may be carried over from summer session to fall semester, winter session and/or spring semester. All unused points are forfeited at the end of the spring semester and have no refundable value.

Option 2: Christiana Towers Apartment residents and commuters may open a UD1 FLEX account in place of a dining or points plan. Flexible spending accounts may be used at all dining locations and for a variety of campus services, including the bookstore, library, laundry machines and the Student Services Building,. Unused UD1 FLEX balances carry over from year to year and are fully refundable to the student's account upon request. Students living off campus may purchase a dining plan or open a UD1 FLEX account by contacting Student Services on Lovett Avenue, 831-4033.

ACCESSING DINING FACILITIES

*Fee approved for the 1997-98 academic year.  Subject to change for the 1998-99 academic year.

Determining Date for Tuition Charges. Tuition charges are based on registrations made before the end of the late-registration, free drop/add period (the first two weeks of the regular semesters). Full charges are made for course addition and/or withdrawal thereafter.

Rebates for Tuition Charges. Full rebates of tuition charges will be offered for courses dropped by the end of the late-registration, free drop/add period. NO REBATES OF TUITION will be made for courses dropped thereafter.

Fee for Changes in Registration. Students can make registration changes without fee, and with a full rebate of tuition, prior to the start of classes and during the late-registration period. After the first two weeks of classes, however, a charge of $15 will be assessed once per semester when a student initiates a request to change from one class or course section to another, drops or adds a course, changes to or from the pass/fail option, or changes to or from auditor status. In addition to this fee, all students will be charged tuition for any course dropped after the late-registration period.

Part-time Students. Undergraduate Delaware residents who enroll for fewer than 12 credits pay a $172* fee per credit hour. Undergraduate nonresidents who enroll for fewer than 12 credits pay $490* per credit hour. Courses being taken as an auditor are included in the credit-hour total. A $15 registration fee is charged to part-time students each semester. All students are assessed this fee during summer and winter sessions.

Comprehensive Student Fee. A mandatory $42* fee is assessed to all full-time undergraduate students each semester.

Student Center Fee. A mandatory fee is charged to full-time students to cover amortization of bonds used in the construction of the new student center and renovations to the Perkins Student Center, as well as operating costs of these student centers. The fee is $50 per semester, during fall and spring semesters.

New Student Orientation Fee. Newly matriculated undergraduate students (including transfers) are required to pay a $50* fee for the New Student Program and New Student Orientation, regardless of their participation in these activities.

Special Recording Fee. The University charges a fee for the following processing and recording transactions:

• Advanced placement credit ($15)*
• Transferring credit earned at other institutions following admission ($20)*

Student Medical Insurance. An optional accident-and-sickness insurance plan, administered by University Health Services, Inc., is available to all admitted students. This insurance does not cover medical services offered in the Student Health Service. Students whose parents live outside the continental United States are required to enroll in the insurance plan offered through the University, or provide proof of equivalent coverage. Information detailing the medical coverage is mailed to students in July. It is also available in the Student Health Center.

Credit by Examination Fee. Credit may be awarded when a student demonstrates proficiency in a subject-matter field by passing an examination arranged with the department. A $50* per credit hour fee is charged in advance to cover administration and recording costs.

Independent Study Fee. Students enrolled in a regular academic program who earn credit by working on an independent research or reading project must pay the appropriate tuition charge.

Student Teaching Fee. Students enrolled for Student Teaching (EDDV 400 or HDFS 459) will pay $75* per semester in addition to the regular tuition charge.

Transcript Fee. Prepayment of $4* is required for each official transcript. Transcripts cannot be released until all outstanding financial obligations are met. One week is normally required to process any transcript request, which must be made in writing by the student.

General Fee for Changes and Replacements. A nominal charge, not exceeding $20*, is assessed for such transactions as changes in residence-hall rooms (after the first two weeks of each semester) and replacement of lost identification cards (at any time).

All University fees and expenses are due by the published deadlines for each semester or session. In general, tuition, room and meals are due about one month before the start of each semester. A University tuition-and-fees payment packet, listing estimated semester expenses, and a fee-payment form are mailed to each student at least six weeks in advance of the start of each semester.

If the tuition-and-fees payment packet and the fee-payment form do not arrive in the mail for any reason, the student is responsible for obtaining these materials from the Accounts Receivable Office. It is also the student's responsibility to make any necessary adjustments to the bill, and to return the fee-payment form to the Cashier's Office with any required payment. A fee-payment form must be completed and submitted by all students, even if financial aid or other credits may cover the total semester charges.

All payments made by check or money order should be made payable to the "University of Delaware." Receipts are issued for payments by check or money order only when specifically requested. The net total, or the first installment of University fees and charges, together with the completed fee-payment form, is due by the date specified in the instructions in the fee payment packet.

A dishonored check that has not been cleared by the payment deadline does not constitute payment. The University charges a $25* service charge for dishonored checks. Moreover, students who submit dishonored checks may be required to make future payments by cash, money order or certified check.

For a $40* service fee, matriculated students whose credit remains in good standing with the University may pay semester bills in accordance with the installment plan table. The University issues a monthly statement to each student. But, installment payments are due by the dates specified, whether or not the student receives a statement. The dates listed below are approximate.
 

Fall Semester	Spring Semester
August 1 .............25%	By the date specified ...25%
September 20..... 25%	February 20 ................25%
October 20 .........25%	March 20.................... 25%
November 20..... 25%	April 20 .......................25%

*The Installment Payment Plan is only one of the payment options offered through the University. The Delaware Plan is a comprehensive financing program for matriculated students. A Guaranteed Prepaid Tuition Plan allows families to pay cash or borrow up to the full amount necessary to prepay up to four years of full-time tuition at the current full-time tuition rate. Lines of Credit allow families to borrow funds at a very reasonable rate to pay for University expenses as needed. The Delaware Plan is a partnership between the University and CoreStates First Pennsylvania Bank. For further information on The Delaware Plan, call the Accounts Receivable Office at (302) 831-2126.

Students are billed individually for any loss, breakage, or damage of University property and for such incidental charges as library and parking fines. These bills are due upon receipt. Failure to pay them may result in the following penalties for nonpayment.

• IF THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT RECEIVE A STUDENT'S FEE-PAYMENT FORM AND REQUIRED PAYMENT BY THE SPECIFIC DATE EACH SEMESTER, ADVANCE REGISTRATION MAY BE CANCELED.
• If any fees, fines or miscellaneous payments are not received by due dates, the student may be dropped from the University. Subsequent registration will be refused and transcripts, diplomas and other information concerning attendance at the University will be withheld. Reinstatement requires payment of the amount due and compliance with the usual readmission procedures.
• Students are responsible for collection agency fees, attorney fees, court costs and other costs and charges necessary for the collection of any amount not paid by the due date.
• Students who fail to make payments by the due date may be denied the privilege of using the installment payment plan in future semesters.

Any student who does not submit a fee-payment form and any required payment before the first day of classes will be charged a $50* late-payment fee. A student who chooses the installment payment plan and then does not pay the second, third and final installments when due or fails to pay the required percentage of his or her bill will be assessed a $25* installment penalty for each such installment.

*Fee approved for the 1996-97 academic year. Subject to change for the 1997-98 academic year.

At the University of Delaware, scholarship and financial assistance programs focus on the student. Whenever possible, the University strives to remove financial barriers to higher education, and to attract students with exceptional academic promise.  The University works in partnership with families to make a University of Delaware education possible.

Financial assistance programs represent a bridge between the family's ability to pay and the cost of higher education. The University distributes its financial support in the form of scholarships based on academic excellence and need-based packages consisting of grants, loans, and employment opportunities.  While the Scholarship Committee of the Office of Admissions focuses on merit awards, the Office of Financial Aid works with families in the allocation of need-based support.

How to Apply for Financial Aid. Entering Freshmen--Financial aid applications should be submitted early in January, before the student enters fall-semester classes. The Financial Aid Office holds all personal and family financial information in the strictest confidence. Admissions decisions are not influenced in any way by a student's eligibility for financial aid. To apply for financial aid, a student and his or her parents should take the following steps:

• Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and send it directly to the address on the envelope included with the form. (Forms may be obtained from high-school guidance counselors.) Ask to have a copy of the analysis sent to the University of Delaware (institution code #001431). For the purpose of verification, applicants may be required to submit Federal Income Tax Forms for both themselves and their parents to the University's Financial Aid Office. A statement of Selective Service Registration Compliance also may be required.

Deadline. The priority deadline for financial assistance applications is May 1 prior to the year for which aid is requested. Students are encouraged to submit the FAFSA form before March 15 in order to meet the May 1 priority deadline. Applicants who apply after May 1 cannot be guaranteed consideration for aid and may be assisted only to the extent that funds are available.

Notification of Aid. A final Notification of Aid, describing the sources and amounts of aid awarded, will be sent to the student before University charges are due. After the student receives notification, he or she must sign and return the appropriate copy. Failure to return the signed copy to the Financial Aid Office will result in the forfeiture of financial assistance.

Financial Aid Recipient Withdrawals. Students who are recipients of Title IV federal financial aid funds and whose enrollment terminates through official withdrawal must have their financial aid award reviewed for adjustment. Title IV federal financial aid funds are as follows: Federal College Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant, William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, and the Federal Direct PLUS Loan Program. The Nursing Loan Program is also a federal financial aid program.

Financial aid eligibility is based on the cost of education (tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meal plan, books, etc.) incurred for the entire semester and is contingent upon completion of that semester. Upon withdrawal, federal regulations mandate that the cost of education be reevaluated and appropriate adjustment(s) of financial aid awards processed.

Federal regulations require that the institution return monies to the federal financial aid programs after the refund policy is used to calculate the program refund(s). First-time Title IV recipients who withdraw prior to the completion of the 60% point of the enrollment period are governed by the Pro-Rata Refund calculation. Other Title IV recipients are governed by the Federal Refund Policy calculation and may be eligible for the Federal Refund Calculation if they withdraw within the first eight (8) weeks of the term. 

Robert Handful is an out of state freshman who lives on campus. For the fall semester 1997, his cost of attendance is as follows:
 

Tuition	$5,875
Student Health Fee	135
Comprehensive Fee	42
Student Center Fee	50
Orientation Fee	50
Installment Fee	40
Room	1,295
Board	1,090
Total Institutional Costs	$8,537

As a first time student, Robert is governed by the Federal Pro Rata Refund Calculation. He officially withdrew from the University on October 8, 1997, during the sixth week of classes. Based on his withdrawal date, the percentage used to calculate the Federal Pro-Rata Refund is 60.

Robert received the following financial aid for the fall semester:

Federal Direct Subsidized Loan	$1,260
Federal Perkins Loan	500
Federal Direct PLUS Loan	1,880
Private Scholarship	1,000
Total Financial Aid	$4,640

Robert made the following payments:

Admissions Deposit	$200
Room Deposit	100
Semester Payment	1,700.00

In accordance with the Pro Rata refund calculation, the following amounts are returned to the federal aid programs:

Federal Direct Subsidized Loan	$1,260
Federal Direct PLUS Loan	1,880
Federal Perkins Loan	25

An administrative fee of $100.00 and charges of $1,622.50 owed to the University were deducted from the funds refunded to the federal programs. 

Tina Smith is a sophomore and a Delaware resident who lives at home. She is not a first-time student; therefore she is governed by the Federal Refund Policy. Her cost of attendance for the fall semester 1997 is as follows:
 

Tuition	$2,060
Student Health Fee	135
Comprehensive Fee	42
Student Center Fee	50
Total Institutional Costs	$2,287
Student Payment	$292

 

Tina received the following financial aid for the fall semester:

Federal Pell Grant	$1,235
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan	720  ($750, less fees)
Total Financial Aid	$1,955

Tina began her classes on September 3, 1997. She completed her withdrawal through the Dean's Office on October 3, 1997, during the fifth week of the semester.

The percentage used to calculate the Federal Refund is 25. As a result, $546.75 will be returned to the Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Program.  An administrative allowance fee of $100 was charged.

Failure to Withdraw Officially. Students are required to adhere to the University's official withdrawal policy when terminating their enrollment prior to the end of a given term. Failure to officially withdrawal will result in the cancellation of any federal financial aid program funds previously awarded for that term. Federal regulations require that funds for ineligible recipients be returned to the financial aid program accounts. Students will be billed for semester charges.

Handouts for the Title IV recipient withdrawals, explaining the policies, procedures and examples of adjustments are available upon request at the Student Services Building, Lovett Avenue and the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, 224 Hullihen Hall.

Financial Aid for Students with Previous Baccalaureate Degree. A student who completes his or her first baccalaureate degree is not eligible to receive either a Federal Pell Grant or a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. It is a student's responsibility to indicate receipt of a first baccalaureate degree when completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Satisfactory Academic Progress. Federal Title IV assistance programs require students to maintain progress toward a degree. These federal programs include the Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Perkins and Nursing Loans, Federal College Work-Study program, and Federal Direct Loans (Subsidized, Unsubsidized, and PLUS). Satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes requires:

1. Completion of a degree within six years of full-time attendance or its equivalent;
2. a cumulative grade point average of C (2.0) after 60 or more attempted hours; and
3. successful completion of 67 percent of credit hours attempted.

Student Consumer Rights and Responsibilities. A student who receives financial aid from the University has the following rights:

• To know the costs of attendance to the institution; to know all available sources of Financial Aid; to be informed of all aspects of the Financial Aid package awarded, including determination of need and disbursement of aid; to know the academic expectations of the institution; and to know the institution's refund policy.

• To apply for aid by the established University deadline; to report any outside awards to the University Financial Aid Office; to remain in good academic standing and make appropriate academic progress; to comply with loan repayment schedules established; and to report any changes in family or student financial status to the Financial Aid Office. Financial Aid recipients also are responsible to report to the Dean of Students, the Student Loan Office and the Financial Aid Office when they withdraw from school.

Sibling/Parent. Every full-time, matriculated student is entitled to a Sibling/Parent Tuition Credit of $100 if he or she has one or more siblings or parents who is also a full-time matriculated undergraduate at the University for the same academic year. To receive this tuition credit, the eligible students must submit a Sibling/Parent Tuition Credit form to the Cashiers Office by the fee-payment deadline for spring semester. These forms are available in December in the Student Services Building. For determination of eligibility, see the Sibling/Parent Tuition Credit Policy distributed with the form or contact the Accounts Receivable Office.

Senior Citizens. Every matriculated student who is a Delaware resident, 60 years of age or older, may take credit courses on a space-available basis without paying tuition. Such students must cover the cost of books, laboratory supplies, and shop fees.  For further information, contact the Admissions Office at (302) 831-8123.

The University of Delaware is approved for veteran attendance under Chapters 30, 31, 32, 34, 35 and 106 of Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations. Veterans interested in obtaining benefits under these regulations should contact the University Veterans Affairs Clerk in the Student Services Building, Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at (302) 831-8987.
