II. DEPARTMENT FEES.

Under this head are comprised the charges for instruction, which include
the tuition fee and laboratory fees. As these differ in different departments,
they are set forth below in tabular form, and for the sake of convenience the
university charges above specified are grouped with them.

Students from Virginia.—In accordance with the statute (Virginia Code
1887, Ch. 68, Sec. 1554), the University remits to Virginia students in the
Academic Departments the tuition fee (except in Analytical Chemistry) and
all but $10 of the university fee; and to Virginia students in the Department
of Engineering the tuition fee in those courses (except Analytical Chemistry),
which are also offered in the College, and one-half the university fee.

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.

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.

At the beginning of the third term any of the following courses may be
entered upon with profit by an applicant prepared for them: Latin, Greek,
French, Spanish, Italian, German, English, English Literature and Rhetoric,
Biblical History and Literature, Public Speaking, History, Economics, Political
Science, Education, Philosophy, Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry,
Industrial Chemistry, Geology, Biology, Botany, and Zoölogy. Special courses

for teachers will be offered in English and Mathematics, and perhaps in several
other subjects during the approaching spring term, if the demand for them is
sufficient.

Applicants for admission as teachers are required to send in their names
to the President of the University not later than March 5.

Ministerial Students.—Ministers of the gospel 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 at the University.

Chemistry	[4] 15
Physics C1 or C2	5
Zoölogy	5

C. Courses in Analytical Chemistry:

The courses in Analytical Chemistry, being professional courses, are not
provided for by the regular department fees in the Academic Departments, nor
are they included among the courses in which free tuition is given to Virginians
and other privileged students. The fees for each course in Analytical Chemistry
are:

       

Tuition	$40
Laboratory	10
Apparatus (contingent)	10 (for two courses, $15)
	$60

Students from other states than Virginia taking one or both courses in
Analytical Chemistry in connection with other courses in the College or the
Department of Graduate Studies pay a total tuition fee of $100.

D. Department of Law:

       

University Fee	$ 40
Tuition Fee	100
Contingent Deposit	10
	$150

Students taking an irregular course pay for tuition according to the relation
which the amount of work taken bears to the regular course. For such course

total number of lecture periods.

The tuition fee for each collegiate course is $25, with the addition of the
prescribed laboratory charges, which are $5 for each course in Physics and $15
for each course in Chemistry. For courses in Analytical Chemistry, see above.
Virginians are relieved of tuition in collegiate courses. The fee for each technical
lecture course is $30; for each practice course in Drawing, $15; for each
laboratory or practice course in Applied Mechanics, Engineering, Shop-work, or
Field-work, $5. These fees include all charges for laboratory materials, but the
student is held further responsible for breakage.
