EXPENSES.
Payment of Fees.—All university charges and rent of rooms in the
university buildings are payable upon entrance. Under special conditions
the President is authorized to allow credit, but deferred payments are in
all cases to be properly secured. Students permitted to register during a
term are required to pay the full fees for that term.
Return of Fees.—Under no circumstances will there be a return of
fees except upon certificate from the University Physician that withdrawal
from the University is necessary on account of ill health, which must not
be due to dissolute conduct. Upon receipt of the University Physician's
certificate, the President will return the fees pro rata.
Remission of Fees is made in the following cases:
(1) In accordance with the statute (Virginia Code 1887, Ch. 68, Sec.
1554), fees are remitted to Virginia students as detailed below under University
Charges. In order to be considered a Virginia student, it is necessary
that the applicant's parents be domiciled in the State if he be under
twenty-one years of age; if he has attained his majority, it is necessary
that he himself be domiciled here. One is domiciled in the State who is
living in it at the time the application is made and has no intention of removing
therefrom in the future, or who, though absent from the State,
has not lost his former domicile by acquiring one elsewhere. No other
person can honestly avail himself of this privilege.
(2) White male teachers and superintendents of the public schools of
Virginia will be admitted, during the last three months of the session, to
the Academic Schools of the University without payment of fees (except
those charged in laboratory courses), upon presentation of certificates that
they have been teachers in the public schools of the State during the year.
Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in their names
to the President of the University not later than March 5.
(3) Ministers of religion may attend any of the Academic Schools of
the University without payment of the tuition fee. The same privilege will
be extended to any young man who submits testimonials that he is an approved
candidate for the ministry, and unable to meet without aid the
expense of an education.

The university fee goes to the fund intended to defray the general expenses of the University.
Payment of this fee entitles the student, without additional charge to the use of
the library; to the privileges of the gymnasium, with baths, private lockers, etc., and the
advice and aid of the physical training staff (see page 231); and to free medical attendance
by the University Physician in case of illness (see page 82). It also covers
all regular examination and diploma fees.

The Department of Engineering:
The fee for each practice course in Drawing, Engineering Laboratories,
and Shop-work is $5.00 per term for each course, and for Field-work,
$10.00 per term for each course. These fees include all charges for laboratory
materials; but the student is held responsible for breakage. For
fees in Physics and Chemistry, see above.
BOARD AND LODGING.
A student may rent a room in one of the university dormitories and
take his meals either in the University Commons or in an approved private
boarding house; or he may take both room and board in such boarding
house, in which case he pays no room-rent or servant-hire to the University.
A list of private boarding and lodging houses, with rates, may be
had upon application to the Registrar.
The University Commons.
This building, conveniently situated near the center of the University,
provides an attractive dining hall, with accommodations for seating three
hundred students at one time. Table board is now furnished at $19 per
single calendar month, or, if taken for the entire session, at $18 per month.
It is hoped that it will be possible to continue these rates.
University Dormitories.
Rules.—Students desiring rooms should apply to the Bursar, enclosing
a reservation fee of $5, which will be returned should there be no room to
let.
The occupant of a room may reserve it for the next session by applying
to the Bursar and depositing $5 (which is in no case returnable), not
later than May 1. The balance of the rent must be paid not later than the
first registration day of the session, otherwise such preference or other
right shall be forfeited.
No room may be sublet.
Rates.—All rooms are rented unfurnished, but the University has arranged
with a local dealer to place in each room the necessary articles,
consisting of one three-piece enameled bed with comfortable springs, one
thoroughly sanitary all-cotton mattress, one solid oak six-drawer chiffonier
with mirror, one student rocker with cane seat and back, one student
straight chair and one student table with 24 × 36-inch top. This
furniture will be placed in the room before the opening of the session,
so that the room will be ready for occupancy immediately upon arrival.
The student will pay the local dealer $25 per session as rent for the furniture.
The rental for the necessary furniture for a room occupied by
two students will be $30 using a double bed, or $33 for a double room
using two single beds or a double-deck bed. Additional furniture may be
rented if desired. The student should bring bed linen, towels, blankets,
pillow, etc., or be prepared to purchase them here.
All rooms are provided with either steam or hot-water heat and electric
rate given.
The rooms on East and West Lawn (with the exception of Bachelors'
Row), East and West Range, and Dawson's Row, are commodious, and are
frequently occupied by two students.
The rates given below are for the session of nine months.
East and West Lawns.
ONE OCCUPANT | TWO OCCUPANTS | |
Rooms in Bachelors' Row (9) | $ 70.00 | $ 70.00 |
Other rooms (27) | 75.00 | 100.00 |
Rooms in old gymnasium building (8) | 60.00 | 80.00 |
Other rooms (26) | 72.00 | 96.00 |
Regular rooms (20) | 72.00 | 96.00 |

Single rooms (5) | 40.00 | 50.00 |
Rooms, medium (8) | 75.00 | 100.00 |
Rooms, large (4) | 100.00 | 125.00 |
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES.
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling
expenses, or pocket money. For each department three estimates are
given—a low, an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the
three depends on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books,
and laundry—in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student.
If a student shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest
economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below the low estimate.

Student Self-Help.—Every possible opportunity for obtaining remunerative
employment is afforded to students who are desirous of helping by
this means to pay their way through the University, and it may be safely
stated that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the
first half of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which
will pay his living expenses and university charges for the remainder of the
academic year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured of remunerative
work before he reaches the University, information as to such
employment may be had from the Secretary of the Committee on Student
Self-Help, Madison Hall.
For Loan Funds for deserving students, see page 97.
