It is the responsibility of the student to ensure a correct billing address on the Student Information System (See Addresses, below). The late fee will not be waived because an invoice was not received. Please note that effective February 1, 2010, the Treasurer’s Office will no longer distribute paper bills through the mail to help save time, money and resources. 

Late Fees

Students who register for the fall 2008 and spring 2009 semesters are required to pay all charges by the posted payment deadline. Students who fail to pay all charges or who fail to execute an installment payment plan by the deadline may be assessed a late payment fee equal to the outstanding balance, not to exceed $50.00.

Disbursement of refund checks due to overpayments by scholarships, loans, and/or grants will be mailed approximately five (5) days prior to the start of classes. Checks will be mailed to the student’s permanent address unless a check address has been established on ISIS.

Addresses

Students may create a billing address, which will be used specifically for billing statements, and a check address, which will be used specifically for overpayment checks. These addresses may be created in addition to the local and permanent addresses. If a billing or check address is not created, the default address will be the permanent address. The student may change their address on the ISIS Web site in the Student Center.

When a student or student’s spouse is activated for full-time military service during a time of national crisis and is required to cease attending the University of Arkansas without completing and receiving a grade in one (1) or more courses, they shall receive compensation for the resulting monetary loss as provided by Fayetteville Policy 504.2. To be eligible for the compensation, the student must provide, prior to activation or deployment for military service, an original or official copy of the military activation or deployment orders to the Registrar. A student whose spouse is a service member shall provide proof of registration with the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) of the Department of the Defense that establishes that dependent children reside in the household of the student and the service member. Upon leaving the University of Arkansas because of active duty or deployment, the student may choose one of three compensatory options. The student may officially withdraw and receive full adjustment and refund of tuition and nonconsumable fees for the term involved; the student can remain enrolled and arrange for a mark of “Incomplete” for each class and finish the courses twelve (12) months after deactivation; or the student may receive free tuition and fees for one (1) semester after deactivation. For more detailed information, refer to Fayetteville Policy 504.2.

Arkansas residents who are 60 years of age or older and show proper proof of age may choose to have tuition and fees waived under the senior citizen waiver of fees. Admission and enrollment under these conditions is open only on a “space available” basis in existing classes and students choosing to use this waiver may not register until just prior to the beginning of the term.

University Housing

(Rates are subject to change)

Single freshmen under 21 years of age are required to live in University residence halls, fraternity or sorority houses, or with their parents, unless permission to live off-campus has been obtained through University Housing. Permission to reside off-campus is granted on a semester basis and must be obtained prior to enrolling or prior to the semester in which off-campus residency is desired.

Costs of room and board in University residence halls for one semester during the 2008-2009 academic year range from $3,355.00 to $4,567.50 for double occupancy rooms and with an unlimited meal plan. Single rooms are additional and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Housing for married students, students with family status, nontraditional, graduate, and law students is limited and requires early application.

Summer rates for room in University residence halls during summer sessions are $30.37 per day for a single. Charges start on the requested move-in day and run through the date of check-out. Specific questions concerning on-campus living or meal plans may be directed to University Housing (479) 575-3951.

Specific questions concerning sorority and fraternity living may be directed to the Office of Greek Affairs (479) 575-5001.

Off-Campus Housing

Students eligible to live off-campus may contact local real estate offices for rental information and availability.

Checks tendered to the University are deposited immediately. The University does not accept postdated checks. Checks returned for “insufficient funds” (NSF checks) are generally presented for payment only once. Each check returned by a bank for any reason will be assessed a returned check fee. The University may, at its discretion, verify available bank funds for any checks written for payment of indebtedness before accepting a check.

The University of Arkansas reserves the right to withhold transcripts or priority registration privileges, to refuse registration, and to withhold diplomas for students or former students who have not fulfilled their financial obligations to the University. These services may also be denied students or former students who fail to comply with the rules governing the audit of student organization accounts or to return property entrusted to them.

Requests for exceptions to University’s fees, charges, and refund policies must be made in writing. Instructions for submitting requests for exceptions to the various fees, charges, and refund policies of the University may be obtained as follows:

• For residence life and dining services fees, charges, and refund policies contact University Housing, Attention: Assistant Director for Business, Hotz Hall, 9th floor, (479) 575-3951.

Students are allowed to have automobiles at the University, although parking is quite limited. There is a parking permit and registration fee ranging from $47.32 to $621.75 for each vehicle, depending upon the parking option selected.

Board Policy 520.8 (January 18, 1985, revised)

Determination of Residence Status

1. Purpose
   The purpose of these regulations is to enable the administrative officers of the University of Arkansas to classify students for the purpose of paying student fees, as either “in-state” or “out-of-state,” so as to accord fairness and equity to the students of the University and to the public that provides support for the educational services provided by the University.
2. Initial Classifications
   1. A student shall be admitted to the University in an “in-state” or “out-of-state” status for university fee purposes, as established under these regulations. Except as otherwise provided under these regulations, a student classified as “in-state” for university fee purposes at the time of admission must have established a bona fide domicile in Arkansas and must have resided continuously in this state in that bona fide domiciliary status for at least six consecutive months prior to the beginning of the term or semester for which fees are paid.
   2. A bona fide domicile is a home of apparent true, fixed, and permanent nature, a place of actual residing for all purposes of living that may be distinguished from a temporary sojourn in this state as a student. The person claiming domicile in Arkansas must provide evidence of permanent connection with the State of Arkansas and demonstrate the expectation of remaining in this state beyond graduation. For purposes of implementing these policies, the Administration is directed to articulate standards that will be applied in making the determination of residence.
   3. Except as otherwise provided under these regulations, the domicile of an adult (18 years of age or older) or emancipated minor student shall be determined on the basis of his or her own domicile.
   4. Except as otherwise provided under these regulations, the domicile and residence of an unemancipated minor student (less than 18 years of age) or an unmarried dependent who has not attained the age of 23 is legally that of the parents or surviving parent; or such other person legally standing in the place of a parent to the student and with whom the student in fact makes his or her home and who has been making substantial contributions to the support of the student for at least six consecutive months prior to the term or semester for which the fees are paid.
   5. A student who cannot satisfy the criteria for Arkansas domicile and residence will be classified as an “out-of-state” student and will pay fees and tuition accordingly. The student on a temporary visa will be classified as a foreign student and will pay non-resident tuition and fees. A student who has been granted a permanent visa and has been domiciled in Arkansas for six consecutive months following receipt of the permanent visa shall be classified as an Arkansas resident for fee purposes.
   6. The responsibility for registering under a proper classification for student fee purposes is placed upon the student. It is the duty of each student at each time of registration to call any question about residency classification status to the attention of the campus classification review officer in a timely fashion in order that the question may be settled (see 4. Procedures).
   7. The six-month period required in paragraph A of these regulations may be waived for persons, their spouse, and their unmarried children who have not yet attained the age of 23 (dependents are the spouse and unmarried children who are legal dependents as defined by the IRS) and who move to Arkansas with attendance at the University only a by-product of the primary purpose of establishing domicile in this state.
   8. An unmarried student who has not reached the age of 23 years having one parent residing in Arkansas (for at least six consecutive months immediately prior to the beginning of the term or semester in which the fees are to be paid) may be considered an “in-state” student for fee purposes, even if that student resided outside the state with the other parent before coming to Arkansas to attend the University.
   9. Marriage is recognized as emancipation for both females and males.
   10. The spouse of a person continuously domiciled in Arkansas (for at least six consecutive months immediately prior to the beginning of the term or semester in which the fees are to be paid) upon request shall be classified as “in-state” for fee purposes.
3. Reclassifications
   1. The initial classification of a student will not prejudice a different classification for following terms or semesters. However, a student’s Fees and Cost Estimates University of Arkansas, 34 Fayetteville prior domicile is assumed to continue until he or she clearly establishes a new domicile in Arkansas (see #4 below).
   2. A student previously classified as “out-of-state” may be reclassified as “in-state” for fee purposes if he or she has established a bona fide domicile in Arkansas and has resided continuously in this state in that bona fide domiciliary status for at least six consecutive months prior to his or her reclassification by the University. In order for an adult or an emancipated minor to establish a bona fide domicile in Arkansas for fee purposes, he or she must have left the parental home, must have established in this state a home of a permanent character as manifested objectively by good faith acts, and must have the expectation of remaining in this state beyond graduation. The single fact of presence in Arkansas for at least six months of attendance as a student enrolled in the University of Arkansas, or any other educational institution, neither constitutes nor necessarily precludes reclassification as one domiciled in Arkansas, but will be a factor to be considered.
4. Procedures
   1. A student shall have the burden of establishing any claim that he or she is entitled to be treated as “in-state” for fee purposes. Persuasive evidence to that effect must be presented in writing and verified under oath by the student. Mere claims of local domicile and duration of stay are of little weight. A student who knowingly gives erroneous information in an attempt to evade the payment of “out-of-state” fees may be subject to dismissal from the University.
   2. All disputed classifications for student fee purposes, whether at initial enrollment or subsequent enrollments, and all disputed reclassifications will be decided initially on each campus by a classification review officer designated by each Chancellor.
   3. The Chancellor of each campus will designate a campus classification appeal officer to receive petitions from decisions made by the campus classification review officer. Each campus classification appeal officer may, in his or her discretion, make investigations, receive evidence, and conduct informal hearings. After considering the case, the campus classification appeal officer will render a decision and notify the affected student of the decision in writing. Any decision of the campus classification appeal officer may be appealed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of Arkansas System, who shall recommend final disposition to the President of the University.
   4. Written notice of the appeals procedure will be provided to each student raising a question about his or her status with the campus residency classification review officer.
   5. Determination of domicile will be based on a review of all pertinent facts, evidence, and circumstances that collectively show, in an objective and clear manner, the actual domicile of the student.
   NOTE: In implementing these policies, it is presumed that dependent students who are classified as non-residents based upon parental/guardian domicile outside of Arkansas do not acquire Arkansas residency under Board of Trustees Policy 520.8 unless and until their parent(s)/guardian(s) have established a domicile in Arkansas, or the student has left the parental home and established a domicile in Arkansas evidenced by proof that he or she has established a home of a permanent character as manifested objectively by good faith acts, resided in Arkansas in bona fide domiciliary status for at least six consecutive months prior to his or her reclassification as an Arkansas resident, and demonstrates the expectation of remaining in this state beyond graduation.

Reclassification Deadlines

Students who have established a bona fide domicile in Arkansas following initial classification as a non-resident must request reclassification if they want their status recognized for fee purposes. Applications and appropriate documentation must be received by the Office of the Registrar no later than the fifth class day (second class day of a summer session) of the term for which in-state fee assessment is requested. Applications received after the deadline will be considered for the next term. All fees are to be paid by published due dates. Students who receive a favorable decision after payment will be provided a refund of out-of-state fees paid. Please direct questions about residence classification review procedures to the Office of the Registrar, 146 Silas H. Hunt Hall.

Resident Status of Native Americans

(Board Policy 520.1, "Waiver of Non-Resident Tuition for Native Americans.")

Native American people in other states belonging to tribes that formerly lived in Arkansas before relocation, and whose names are on the rolls in tribal headquarters, shall be classified as in-state students of Arkansas for tuition and fee purposes, on all campuses of the University of Arkansas. Tribes so identified include the Caddo, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Delaware, Kickapoo, Osage, Peoria, Quapaw, Shawnee, and Tunica.

Resident Status of Members of the Armed Forces and Their Dependents

(Board Policy 520.7, "Fees for Members of Armed Forces and Dependents.")

Effective January 1, 1975, members of the Armed Forces who are stationed in the State of Arkansas pursuant to military orders, and their unemancipated dependents, shall be entitled to classification as in-state students for fee paying purposes (per Arkansas stat. Ann. 80-3366).

Persons continuously domiciled in Arkansas for at least 12 consecutive months who enter active military service from this state and who maintain Arkansas as the permanent home of record while on active military duty, and their dependents (the spouse and unmarried children who are legal dependents of the military person as defined by the IRS), shall be entitled to classification as in-state students for fee paying purposes. This provision is forfeited if the military person does not return to Arkansas within twelve months after separation, discharge, or retirement from active duty.

Persons serving in active military service who demonstrate a change of bona fide domicile from another state to Arkansas at least twelve consecutive months prior to separation, discharge, or retirement from active military duty, and the dependents (the spouse and unmarried children who are legal dependents of the military person as defined by the IRS), shall be entitled to classification as in-state students for fee paying purposes. This provision is forfeited if the military person does not return to Arkansas within twelve months after separation, discharge, or retirement from active duty.

Resident Status of Students from Texarkana, Texas, and Bowie County, Texas

(Board Policy 520.10)

In accordance with the reciprocity agreement described in H.C.R. 32, signed by the Governor of Arkansas on February 12, 1965, Board Policy 520.10 states, “Residents of Texarkana, Texas and Bowie County, Texas, will be classified as in-state students for University fee purposes at the University of Arkansas.”
