I. UNIVERSITY CHARGES.
Under the first head are included (a) the university fee, $40 ($10
for Virginians in the Academic Departments, $20 for Virginians in the
Department of Engineering), and (b) the contingent deposit, $10; as well
as (c) certain special fees which may or may not be incurred, namely:
1. The special entrance examination fee of five dollars, 2. The delayed
registration fee of three dollars, 3. The re-examination fee of five dollars.
(a) 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
Instructor in Physical Culture; and to free medical attendance by the
University Physician in case of illness (see page 100). It also covers all
regular examination and diploma fees.
(b) The contingent deposit is intended to cover any damage to
university property for which the student is responsible, and any fines
incurred by violating the rules of the Library. (See page 263.) It is
returned at the end of the session, less any charges that may have been
made against it.
From this deposit there will be deducted the sum of $2 for the support
of the chapel services and general religious work of the University, unless
within one month after registration the student shall request the Bursar not
to deduct this amount. It will be observed that this sum (which is less
than the average contribution made by the students who have subscribed
to the chapel fund in past years) is not a necessary expense, as the support
of the religious work of the University is entirely optional. This method
of collection is intended merely as a substitute for the canvass formerly
made, and it is the desire of the Faculty that the students thus unite with
them in maintaining the religious work of the University.
(c) 1. The special entrance examination fee of five dollars is required
of any candidate admitted to a special entrance examination, under
the provision set forth on page 81.
2. The delayed registration fee of three dollars is required of any
student who fails to register promptly at the beginning of the session or
after the Christmas recess, under the provisions set forth on page 98.
3. The re-examination fee of five dollars is required of any student
admitted to re-examination, under the provisions set forth on page 164
(the College), and page 240 (the Department of Engineering).
