Tuition and Fees

The University of Wyoming semester tuition and fee schedules for the 2008-09 academic year, which begins with fall semester 2008, are not available at this time. Updated information about tuition and fees will be available as soon as possible  on WyoWeb or from Accounts Receivable, Room 250, Knight Hall, on April 1, 2008.

 

Summer school tuition and fees will be published in the Summer Bulletin.

 

Full-time undergraduate refers to undergraduate students enrolled for 12 or more hours, and part-time undergraduate refers to undergraduate students enrolled for less than 12 hours. At the graduate level, 9 or more hours is considered full time and less than 9 hours is classified as part time. Fees do not include special fees.

 

Student Benefit Package and Insurance

At the beginning of each semester, the part-time student benefit package will be added to the tuition bills of all part-time students (6 through 11.5 credit hours for undergraduates and 4.5 through 8.5 credit hours for graduate students) who have elected to keep the insurance. The cost of the part-time benefit package is not available as of the publication of this document. The benefit package allows part-time students the same benefits as full-time students including, but not limited to, the use of Student Health Service, Half Acre Gym and the opportunity to apply for short-term emergency student loans.

 

Graduate students taking less than 4.5 credit hours must contact the Graduate School, 109 Knight Hall, to discuss eligibility for and/or payment of the benefit package. Graduate students not receiving a fee waiver need to pay for the package at the Cashier’s Office, 170 Knight Hall.

 

Students who own insurance or choose not to have any health insurance must waive the university’s health insurance program at the time of registration. Part-time students who waive the insurance coverage can contact Accounts Receivable, 250 Knight Hall, to sign on for a benefit package, if applicable.

 

Tuition and Fee Payment 2007-08

All university charges for fall 2008 are due prior to 4 p.m. Friday, August 29, 2008. Students who are unable to pay the entire amount by 4 p.m. Friday, August 29, 2008 may confirm their registration by making a payment of at least one-third the total amount due on their student account; accepted financial aid is considered payment. This payment will automatically place a student into the university’s Institutional Payment Plan which has payment due dates of prior to 4 p.m., September 24, 2008 and October 17, 2008. An enrollment fee of $15.00 will be added to the student’s account each semester they are enrolled in the plan. Students who fail to pay in full or make the registration confirmation payment prior to 4 p.m. the first Friday of the term will have their classes dropped; this deadline will be strictly enforced. See the Spring 2009 Class Schedule for spring term payment deadlines.

 

To be reinstated, a student must pay one-third of the anticipated charges plus a $50.00 reinstatement fee. Students owing $75.00 or less will not be placed in the payment plan or dropped. Offered and accepted financial aid in an amount equal to or greater than the required payment amount will be treated as a payment on the plan. Please check your Student Account on WyoWeb to determine the amount due or contact Accounts Receivable at (307)766-6232.

 

Charges for a course delivered by Outreach Credit Programs are due approximately one month before the first day of the class or upon enrollment, whichever occurs later.  Please contact Outreach Credit Programs for details and for exact deadline dates.

 

Special Course Registration Fees

Additional charges (special course and college fees) must be paid by students enrolling in those courses and colleges with approved special fees. Fees for these courses and colleges will be indicated in the semester Class Schedule.

 

Tuition Waivers

If an employee, spouse of an employee or cooperating agency waiver is used for payment of tuition and/or fees, the waiver must be submitted prior to any other form of payment (including financial aid) being credited to the student’s account as no refund of payment is permitted because of waiver credits. In all cases, the waiver and any other payment required is due no later than the final payment deadline.

 

Financial Holds

A student failing to pay fees, charges, fines, penalties, deposits or short term loans as prescribed by the Trustees of the University of Wyoming shall be denied registration at the university and copies of academic transcripts and/or diplomas until such fees, charges, fines, penalties, deposits or short term loans are paid in full. A ten-day wait is required before a student loan hold can be removed if the debt is paid with a personal check. Contact Accounts Receivable or the Student Financial Operations Office in Knight Hall for information regarding financial holds.

 

Summer Session

Please refer to the Summer Bulletin (published each February) for rates and applicable deadlines.

 

Refunds/Cancellations

Tuition and course fees will be canceled or refunded to a student who officially drops a class or classes, withdraws from the university through the Office of Student Life, or changes enrollment status (i.e. non-resident to resident; full-time to part-time) in accordance with the institutional refund policy outlined below.

 

No tuition penalty will be assessed for dropping and adding during the drop period identified in the term’s class schedule unless all classes are dropped or an all-school withdrawal is processed. Students who withdraw from individual courses after the end of the drop/add period will have their charges canceled in accordance with the institutional refund policy outlined below.

 

Mandatory fees, late registration fees, or service fees are not refundable.

 

The portion of tuition refund/cancellation is computed from the first day of the term, not class meeting pattern. If a student’s initial registration includes blocked classes or short courses that begin at a later date, the refund/cancellation will still be computed from the first day of the term. If a student’s initial registration occurs during an approved late registration period, the date for computing a refund/cancellation will be the first day of the term.
