University of Virginia Library

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, Moral Philosophy, Mathematics,
Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Geology, 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 fifth.

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 expenses of an education at the University.

Laboratory Fees.—In addition to the charges above stated, students
taking courses in the natural sciences pay for each course laboratory fees
as follows:

           

	Laboratory	Contingent
Botany	$ 5
Chemistry	10	$5
Geology, Term Course	3
Physics	5
Zoölogy	5

B. The Department of Graduate Studies:

         

	Students from Virginia	Students from Other States
University Fee	$10	$40
Tuition Fee	0	75 (Average)[1]
Contingent Deposit	10	10
	$20	$125

Laboratory Fees.—In addition to the charges above stated, students
taking graduate courses in the natural sciences pay for each course laboratory
fees as follows:

         

	Laboratory	Contingent
Botany	$10
Chemistry	10	$5
Physics	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 Fee	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

three-tenths of the total number of lecture periods.

E. Department of Medicine:

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.
