General Information

Fees are pending approval by The Board of Regents and are subject to change.

Admission
Undergraduate: Official admission to the University is not required for Summer Session students taking undergraduate-level courses (001-499). However, a nonrefundable application fee of $60 is assessed if you wish to enroll in undergraduate or graduate credit courses. This fee applies to ALL students, including independent learning, nondegree, returning and graduate students who:

• have never attended the University; or
• have attended but not paid the fee; or
• have paid the fee but not attended.

High school students may be admitted and may enroll, subject to the approval of the appropriate university officials. Students below the high school level seeking to be admitted and enrolled will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Graduate: Official graduate-level admission is required prior to registration in any graduate course (500-799). Those who are not University of Nevada, Reno graduates or have not previously been admitted to graduate study at the University must complete the Application for Summer Session 2010 Registration, pay the $60 application fee in addition to registration fees, and certify prior completion of a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution to be considered as a Graduate Special student.

General: Applications for admission are available upon request in the Office of Admissions and Records, Fitzgerald Student Services Building, (775) 784-4700. Summer Session students are subject to university regulations as printed in the University’s General Catalog, available at: www.ss.unr.edu/records/catalog.asp.

• $154.00 per undergraduate credit
• $230.75 per graduate credit

The consolidated fees for Summer Session classes are $154.00 per credit (undergraduate) and $230.75 per credit (graduate). These fees apply to undergraduate and graduate credits including audit. The consolidated fee includes student union, the $4 per-credit technology fee, and activity benefits. Certain field study, lab, music, art and physical education courses have additional special course fees to cover the costs of materials, transportation, or special instruction. Fee bills will not be sent.

Late Fee/No-Show Fee/Reinstatement Fee
A late fee of $25 per day to a maximum of $50 will be charged for payment of registrations occurring on or after the first day of instruction for each term.

A $75 no-show fee will be assessed and placed against your account if payment for ePAWS registration or class additions is not received by the Cashier’s Office by the published due date. Your enrollment will also be cancelled. It is important to check your ePAWS account to verify you are only registered in the courses you plan to attend. Please refer to the Summer Session calendar.

If you are purged from classes for nonpayment but wish to continue in a course, a reinstatement request must be obtained from Admissions and Records. A fee of $100 or 50 percent of actual course fees, whichever is less, is assessed for reinstatements of registrations cancelled for non-payment as verified by the Cashier’s Office. To avoid additional fees, pay all registration fees and drop courses by published deadlines. Always print add/drop confirmation pages and keep for your records!

Fee Bills WILL NOT BE SENT!
It is your responsibility to pay fees by the appropriate dates for classes in which you are registered. See the calendar for payment dates and deadlines.

Credit Card Fee Payment Available
Students may pay registration and room and/or board fees using ePAWS, or in person at the Cashier’s Office with a credit card (MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express).

After that date, a 50 percent refund of registration fees may be authorized to students officially dropping courses or withdrawing from the University during the first 20 percent of each Summer Session term or intensive course. No refund will be made thereafter. (Classes dropped after the second day of instruction appear on your transcript with a grade of “W.”) No request to remove a “W” will be granted.
