EXPENSES.
Payment of Fees.—When the aggregate charge for University fee, tuition
fee, laboratory fees and room rent does not exceed $50 for the session,
the total amount shall be paid upon registration.
If said fees aggregate more than $50, but do not exceed $100, one-half

of the second term.
When the fees aggregate more than $100, payment shall be made one-third
upon registration; one-third at the opening of the second term and the
remainder at the opening of the third term.
If any payment remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date on which
it is due, the Bursar shall immediately notify the Dean of the department
in which such student is entered of the delinquency, and such student shall
by him be required to at once cease attending lectures, using laboratories,
library, gymnasium, athletic grounds or buildings, boarding at the dining
hall, and making use of any other privileges as a student until his financial
relations with the University have been arranged satisfactorily with the
Bursar.
Return of Fees.—A student withdrawing within five days after registering
shall have his fees refunded in full, except the sum of $5 to cover cost
of registration, and his name shall be stricken from the rolls.
If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause after the
fifth day of the term and before the middle thereof, his fees shall be returned
pro rata.
If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause after the
middle of the term no refund shall be made for the respective term, except

of the University Physician or other reputable medical practitioner.
In any case a minimum charge of $5 shall be made to cover cost of
registration.
Laboratory fees shall be refunded upon statement of professor in charge
except where the withdrawal is within five days after registering.
Regulation Concerning Registration as Virginia Student.—In order to
be considered a Virginia student, it is necessary that the applicant's parent's
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
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.
Superintendents and Teachers of Public Schools Exempt from Fees.—
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.
Ministers of Religion and candidates for the Ministry.—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.

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.
THE COLLEGE, THE GRADUATE DEPARTMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.

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 a considerable part of 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.
