Any special fee associated with a particular course, such as a laboratory fee, is charged based on registration in the course. – The University reserves the right to increase the fees listed herein and the charges for room and board if conditions should make such changes necessary or advisable. The changes will be announced as far in advance as feasible. – Fees and charges will increase for the 2005–06 school year and will be announced as soon as possible. Part-Time Students: Classification and Fees Graduate students who take fewer than nine semester hours of studies per semester are part-time students. In order to serve as broad a spectrum of the community as possible, the Graduate School offers a special tuition remission to part-time graduate students from the greater-Richmond metropolitan area.The resulting reduced fee for the 2004-05 session is $430 per semester hour rather than the regular $1,250 per semester hour. The reduced rate applies to the first four, or fewer, hours of enroll- ment of qualified part-time students. A single course may carry three to four semester hours of grad- uate credit and would, therefore, cost $1,290 or $1,720 at the special reduced rate. Certain one-hour courses may also be taken in addition to a regular three-hour course at the reduced rate. Note: The part-time fees apply only to students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. 26 • THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND
