ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Catalog pages 40-44
The university grants credit for all College Board Advanced Placement Tests for which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may be subject credit, graduation credit, or credit toward general education or breadth requirements, as determined by each college office.
The units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation from the university. Students who enter the university with AP credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier. College courses taken prior to or after enrolling at the university may duplicate the content of AP examinations. In these cases, the university may not award credit for both the course and the AP exam. The university grants credit for Advanced Placement tests as described below.

Fees and Expenses
Student expenses depend upon a great many factors that should be considered carefully before planning a budget. Financial help needed — beyond funds that students or their families are able to provide — should be determined well in advance of the entering quarter. Use the charts in this section as guides to planning and visit finaid.ucr.edu for detailed information on costs to attend UCR.
Residency Classification
The University of California (UC) is a public university, and charges different tuition for resident (in-state) and nonresident (out-of-state) students. This means that UC has to decide which level of tuition will be charged for each student. For many students — both resident (in-state) and nonresident (out-of-state) — this is simple. But for some students with more complex circumstances, this decision process may require more steps.
After you’ve been admitted, UCR determines if you’re a California resident for tuition purposes—that is, whether you qualify for resident or nonresident tuition. The term “California resident for purposes of tuition” is different from other definitions of California residence. For example, a person who is a California resident for tax or voting purposes is not necessarily a resident for purposes of tuition at the UC. The UC has four residency requirements: 1) Physical presence 2) Intent 3) Financial independence 4) Immigration status. More information on the UC residency requirements can be found at ucop.edu/residency.
Undergraduate admissions offices also have a different definition of residence. For example, there are a number of questions about residency on the application for undergraduate admission. The UC uses those answers to assess admissions requirements (since they’re different for in-state and out-of-state students). Because the definition of residency varies between offices, information from the admissions office (or on your financial aid award letter) does not necessarily mean you are a resident for purposes of tuition.
Residency for purposes of tuition is decided by your campus residence deputy (or the Office of General Counsel, on appeal). In some cases, students are classified as nonresidents, but are not charged nonresident supplemental tuition. More information about exemptions, waivers, and the UC residency determination process can be found at ucop.edu/ residency.
UCR determines residency based on information you provide in the Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) — a form all new students submit online to the campus residence deputy in the Office of the Registrar. You submit this form after committing to UCR by filing your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). Students can access the SLR at slr.ucr.edu. The residence determination date is typically the first day of instruction at UCR. A complete list of UC residence determination dates by term can be found at ucop.edu/residency.
Late Fees
Late fees are assessed to students who fail to make payments or file forms by published deadlines. Late Tuition Payment Fee may be waived only for the following reasons: student health problems verified by a physician; death in the family; or a verified administrative error on the part of the university.
Fee Exemptions
Dependents of Veterans The California Education Code provides for exemption from certain fees at state-owned colleges, universities, and other schools for eligible students who are dependents or spouses of veterans whose death or disability was service connected. Qualifying UCR students are eligible for exemption from the Student Services Fee, tuition, and Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition. Claims for fee exemptions must be presented to the university during the academic year for which the claim applies. Retroactive approval can be granted only in situations in which students applied for the exemption in a timely manner but approval was delayed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs processing of an original or reopened service-connected disability compensation or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation claim. Contact the Financial Aid Office, 2106 Student Services Building, (951) 827-3878, for information.

The amounts shown in this document represent fees as currently approved. However, all University fees are subject to change, and the fee amounts billed for this period may be adjusted at a future date. Exemption from Nonresident Supplemental Tuition Some students may be eligible for exemption from nonresident supplemental tuition. See the section called Residency for Tuition Purposes on page 44 for more information.
Fee Reductions
Employees A regular status employee who meets the admission requirements of the university is eligible for a two-thirds reduction of both the Student Services Fee and tuition for up to 9 units or three regular-session university courses per quarter or semester, whichever is greater. An employee so registered is ineligible for the services and facilities of the counseling center, gymnasiums, or the student health services, other than those to which the employee may be otherwise entitled.
Doctoral Students Advanced to Candidacy Students who are considered nonresidents for tuition purposes and are advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. receive a reduction of 100% of the nonresident supplemental tuition. Students are eligible for a maximum of three calendar years. Time spent not registered (withdrawn, on leave, or on filing fee status) counts toward the three-year total unless the grad- uate dean grants an exception. Students must be advanced by the first day of instruction to qualify for that term.
Deferred Payment Plan
The Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) offers students an opportunity to pay their quarterly fees and tuition in three monthly installments. For each quarter of participation, a new application must be submitted through rweb.ucr.edu, with a non-refundable processing fee. Visit sbs.ucr.edu/student-services#payment_options for more information.
Refunds
Students who withdraw from all courses before the end of a quarter may be eligible to receive refunds for some fees. Go to registrar.ucr.edu for more information on the refund schedule. A withdrawal petition must be obtained from myforms.ucr.edu or from the Graduate Division. In accordance with federal regulations, refunds to financial aid recipients are first applied to repayment of aid disbursed.
The effective date for determining a refund of fees is the date the student files an official notice of withdrawal with the university. It is presumed that no university services will be provided to the student after that date.
Beginning the second day of instruction, the Student Services Fee, tuition, UCR campus fees, Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition, and nonresident supplemental tuition are refunded on a prorated basis.
Course Material Fees and the Student Technology Course Material Fee are not refundable after the end of the add/drop period.
Refunds for health insurance vary. Consult the Student Health Services, Veitch Student Center, (951) 827-5683.
The Medical School Disability Insurance Fee is not refunded unless the student requests a prorated refund when withdrawing from UCR. Consult the School of Medicine at (951) 827-4333 for information about the refund of insurance benefits after withdrawal.
Self-supporting programs may have different refund policies. To learn more go to registrar.ucr.edu for published refund policies.
For details concerning fees and fee refunds, consult Fees and Enrollment at ucop.edu/operating-budget/.
Refunds for New Students Receiving Federal Financial Aid
Fee refunds for new students receiving Title IV federal financial aid are as follows:
Prior To and Including Day 1 Prior to and including the first day of instruction, the Student Services Fee is refunded except for the $250 Statement of Intent to Register deposit paid by undergraduates. Other eligible fees paid are refunded in full.
Day 2 and After Beginning the second day of instruction, the Student Services Fee is refunded on a prorated basis except for the $250 Statement of Intent to Register deposit. Refunds of other eligible fees are prorated as shown in the Schedule of Refunds on registrar.ucr.edu. New students receiving Title IV federal financial aid who withdraw during their first quarter at UCR receive a prorated refund if they withdraw by the end of the sixth week of the quarter.
Refunds for All Other Students
Refunds for all continuing and readmitted students are as follows:
Prior To and Including Day 1 Prior to and including the first day of instruction, eligible fees paid are refunded in full.
Day 2 and After Beginning the second day of instruction, a prorated refund is given for eligible fees paid. Please see registrar.ucr.edu for details.
If students withdraw during a quarter, federal regulations require UCR to calculate the amount of federal financial aid that has been “earned” for the period they attended. If they withdraw before completing 60 percent of the quarter, a pro rata portion of the aid must be returned to the federal government. Any portion of unearned aid that must be returned to federal aid programs by UCR will be deducted from the amount of the tuition and fee and/or housing refund. If the amount UCR must return to federal aid programs exceeds the amount of the student’s institutional refund, the student’s account may be billed. More information regarding the return of Title IV federal aid requirements is available at finaid.ucr.edu.
Distribution Formula for Institutional Refunds
If a Housing or Registration refund is due to a student under UCR’s refund policy and the student received financial aid under any aid program other than Federal Work-Study, the refund shall be returned to student assistance programs in the following order: outstanding balances on Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Direct Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Cal Grant A or B, Grant-in-Aid State, other institutional grants or scholarships. The portion of a refund allocated to a program may not exceed the amount a student received from that program.
