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 of Physical Culture; and to free medical attendance by the University
Physician in case of illness (see page 96). 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 239). 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 two dollars 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 to a special entrance examination, under the
provisions set forth on page 78.
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 94.
3. The re-examination fee of five dollars is required of any student
admitted to re-examination, under the provisions set forth on page 152 (the
College), and page 221 (the Department of Engineering).
