An electronic bill will be generated for you on or about the 15th of each month and made available via UAOnline. A reminder will be sent via email each time a new bill is generated. It is your responsibility to check your email address regularly. A link on the UAOnline "Statement and Payment History" page will take you to the page where you can pay with credit card or electronic check. To view your bill, go to UAOnline and choose "Student Services & Account Information" from the main menu, then "Student Account," then "Statement and Payment History."

Failure to pay your tuition and fees in full or make other payment arrangements by the final fee payment deadline will result in cancellation of your class schedule. The University of Alaska Fairbanks may withhold transcripts, grades and other services, and cancel meal plans and housing if you do not pay your financial obligations. If the university takes such action, you will still be responsible for your full debt. Registration may be withheld from any student who is delinquent in paying any amount due to the university. The registration process is not complete until the student has paid all fees and charges due to the university. The university may drop you from your courses after the fee payment deadline if you owe a debt to the university. A $100 reinstatement fee will be charged to re-enroll in any dropped courses. Students have until Friday, Sept. 21 to re-enroll in dropped courses.

NOTE: This information was updated Aug. 10, 2012 to describe new cancellation procedures associated with failure to pay.

University policy requires a financial hold be placed on your student account if you fail to meet your financial obligations. The hold will prevent any registration, transcript or graduation activity.
Past due accounts will be sent to a collection agency. Interest, late fees and/or collection costs will be added to your account. Past due debt may be reported to a local credit bureau. The university is authorized to garnish Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends for payment of past due accounts.

Tuition is determined by the following:

• the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled,
• the level (e.g., 100-level, 200-level) of the course, and
• your residency status.

Students taking 4 or fewer credits are charged at the resident rate.

An online tuition calculator is available.

Tuition by course level

You are considered a full-time student if you enroll in 12 or more credits as an undergraduate or 9 or more credits as a graduate student.

All students should check their residency status and tuition charges each semester when they register. Electronic processes, such as a new application, may cause a student's status to change from one semester to the next.

In general, students are expected to have resided in the state of Alaska for the prior two years to be eligible for resident tuition. However, there are additional criteria to meet the eligibility requirements. In the past two years, students must NOT have:

• been absent from Alaska for an aggregate of more than 120 days other than documented absences due to illness, or attendance at another educational institution while maintaining Alaska residency;
• acted inconsistently with Alaska residency, such as claiming residency in another state or voting as a resident of another state;
• registered as a resident at an educational institution in another state; or
• paid tuition at the University of Alaska Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program rate.

Proof of eligibility for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is the standard accepted documentation of residency. You also need to complete a UAF residency application. Other specific proof of residency, as outlined at www.pfd.state.ak.us, may be accepted.

• PFD proof of eligibility -- Submit a copy of your most recent Form 1099 or go to www.pfd.state.ak.us, click on "Check Application Status," follow the instructions, print the final page that shows "approved, paid, or eligible" and submit it with your UAF residency application.

Students who are graduating from a qualified Alaska high school within one year of enrollment, AND enrolling in a degree program, will automatically be considered residents when they provide their high school transcript.

Other exemptions of the non-resident surcharge may be permissible. More information may be obtained at www.uaf.edu/admissions/pdf/res_tuition_app.pdf.

UA Board of Regents policy waives regular tuition for Alaska residents at the age of eligibility for full Social Security retirement benefits. You are eligible to use the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver and enroll in UAF courses if:

• you are a permanent resident of Alaska;
• you are age-eligible to receive full Social Security retirement benefits; and
• there is space (i.e., no waitlist) in the class or classes you want.

You must register in person and not until the first day of instruction to use a senior tuition waiver. You must meet both age and residency requirements by one of the following dates to be eligible for the corresponding semester: Sept. 1 for fall; Jan. 1 for spring; May 1 for summer. Reimbursements will not be made to senior citizens who pay for a course and then request a waiver. Please call 474-7384 for more information.

Employee tuition waivers cover the cost of 12 credits per academic year (up to 6 credits per semester) for university employees. Tuition waivers are accepted for the current semester and cannot be applied to prior terms. Other criteria:

• Tuition waivers cover tuition only.
• The employee must be employed on the first day of instruction to be eligible.*
• Tuition waiver forms must be turned in by the fee payment deadline.
• The employee is responsible for paying all other fees by the payment deadline.
• Tuition waivers must be signed by the employee and the employee's supervisor (regardless of class time) to be valid.*
• Supervisor signature is required for both employee and dependent/spouse tuition waivers to be valid.*
• Reimbursements will not be made to employees/dependents who pay for a course or courses and later become eligible.
• Dependents must be under the age of 24 on the first day of instruction to be eligible.
• Waivers found to be ineligible will be reversed and the students will be responsible for payment of waived tuition.
• Late fees and payment deadlines apply to those using tuition waivers.

*Current policies are undergoing revision. Please see www.uaf.edu/business/ for updated information.

Please mail or fax waivers well in advance of the last day of fee payment to the Business Office at P.O. Box 757640 (UAF) or 474-5898. You may also email the waiver to business.office@uaf.edu.

For a complete schedule of refund dates and criteria, refer to the Refund Schedule above.

• A 100 percent swap of tuition only is allowed only if the drop and/or withdrawal/add is done on the same day during two weeks following the last day to pay tuition and fees.
• If an upper-level class is swapped for a lower-level class, the difference is refundable at 100 percent through Sept. 14 (fall semester); Friday, Feb. 1 (spring semester).
• If a lower-level class is swapped for an upper-level class, the student must pay the difference.
• Late fees apply for added classes.

Student Health Center, technology, network, transportation, student life, athletic, orientation, ASUAF, laboratory, material and miscellaneous fees are not refunded after the last day to pay tuition and fees. Parking permits purchased and not received or purchased and returned by the fee payment deadline are refundable, less a $5 processing fee. Health insurance will be credited to your account if a total withdrawal takes place within the first 31 days of the insurance policy coverage. If you withdraw for medical reasons, you may appeal the reversal of your insurance enrollment with the Student Health and Counseling Center.

Appeals for refund of tuition are exceptions to policy and are only allowed in exceptional cases. Approval is not automatic, and you need to provide documented evidence to support your request. Acceptable serious and compelling reasons may include: 1) death in immediate family; 2) serious illness or injury of student or immediate family; and 3) factors outside student's control (for example, major employment change, fire, flood). Not receiving expected financial aid, or failing to comply with published deadlines or regulations are not serious and compelling reasons to seek a refund and will not be approved.

Appeals for refund of tuition must be submitted within 30 class days after the beginning of the next regular semester. Forms for an appeal for refund of tuition are available online, through the Business Office in Signers' Hall at the Fairbanks campus or through local campus student services offices. Once received, the appeal will be evaluated by a campuswide committee which will return a decision to the student. The decision of the committee is final and a student who files a written appeal under these procedures shall be expected to abide by the final disposition of the review, as provided, and may not seek further appeal of the matter under any other procedure within the university. Submission of appeals and appropriate documentation after published deadlines will not be considered. Contact the UAF Business Office for more information.

In order for the committee to consider your appeal for a refund for a class, you must be fully withdrawn from the class. To withdraw from your class or classes, complete the Total Withdrawal or Late Withdrawal form (whichever is appropriate) and submit it to the Office of Admissions and the Registrar.

Financial aid will be disbursed to student accounts on the first day of class and the Business Office will begin processing refunds at that time. Contact the Business Office for an advance of funds if you need your funds for books.

Refund processing is automatic for students who officially drop courses by published refund deadlines. Remember to return parking permits if you drop during the 100 percent refund time.
All refunds are processed electronically or by mail. The Business Office does not issue refund checks for amounts less than $10. It is your responsibility to check your account and contact the Business Office to receive your refund as cash or to apply it to your PolarExpress card as a nonrefundable payment.

If you paid tuition and fees by credit card only, the card will be credited up to the amount charged.
If your tuition was paid through external sources such as financial aid, federal loans, scholarships or grants, you will receive your refund as a check sent to your mailing address of record or direct-deposited in your bank account.

Once processed by the Business Office, direct deposit takes 3 - 5 business days to disburse to your bank account.

Your refund is subject to federal regulations. If you receive a refund due to dropped classes or a total withdrawal, you may no longer qualify to receive scholarships or financial aid. In that case, the funds may be returned to the lender or grantor pursuant to all applicable rules and regulations.

If you paid by cash or check, a refund check will be sent to your mailing address of record, or direct-deposited in your bank account. If you notify the Business Office that you have not received the check due to an incorrect address, a fee of $18.50 will be charged for all checks reissued due to a stop pay request by the student. Please be sure we have your current mailing address.

If you paid your tuition and fees by check, refund processing will begin after your check has cleared the bank.

Any debt owed to the university will be deducted from your refund.

Students who drop during the 100 percent refund period and want to maintain health insurance coverage should contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 474-7043.

Enrolling in direct deposit allows your refunds to be electronically deposited into your bank account. It's simple, safe and convenient. Enrollment is available through our secure self-service website. Sign up for direct deposit of your refund through  UAOnline  by following these steps:

• At the "Student Services & Accounting Information" menu select the "Direct Deposit Enrollment" link.
• Select "1st time setup of direct deposit"
• Select the account type
• Enter the bank routing code
• Enter account number
• Re-enter account number
• Select "Submit"

Many students receive some sort of financial aid from either the state of Alaska, federal government or institutional programs. Complete the required FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid, online at www.fafsa.ed.gov); the application process may take up to six weeks. The Financial Aid Office, located in 107 Eielson, has all the necessary applications.

The majority of financial aid awards will appear as credits applied to your student account, unless you are receiving a check from an outside agency.

To be eligible for financial aid, you must:

• Be admitted to a UAF degree or certificate program and meet satisfactory academic progress standards.
• Be an undergraduate enrolled in 12 or more credits (or a graduate student enrolled in 9 or more credits) if receiving full-time funding. Waitlisted, audit and year-long correspondence study classes do not count toward determining your full-time student status.
• Complete online entrance counseling if receiving a Federal Direct Loan for the first time.

If your guaranteed financial aid or loans will not arrive before the last day to pay tuition and fees, you must arrange for a payment plan with Tuition Management Systems. See www.afford.com/uaf/

Before the last day of fee payment, you must make arrangements to pay tuition and fees, including housing if you are living on campus. A payment plan can be arranged if disbursement of financial aid for fall 2012 will be delayed past the payment deadline. You must pay tuition and fees by that time or late fees will apply.

Approval of a payment plan can take several days, so begin the process right away. Contact Tuition Management Systems.

To verify that financial aid has arrived at UAF and is available for disbursement:

• go to the financial aid website  and select "Check Your Aid Status," or
• log in to UAOnline, or
• contact the Financial Aid Office, 107 Eielson Building, 474-7256, 888-474-7256 or financialaid@uaf.edu.
