II. STATEMENT OF REGULATION

The University of North Florida Board of Trustees must authorize all fees assessed, unless specifically delegated herein to the President. For purposes of clarification, the term "at cost" or "cost" as used in this regulation includes those increased costs that are directly related to the delivery of the goods or services.

1. Audit Registration Fees - Audit registration assures a course space for the student; however, no grade is awarded. This fee is the same as the resident tuition provided in Regulation 11.0010R, except for developmentally disabled students enrolled in the University's On-Campus Transition Program. The audit registration fee for students enrolled in this program is $0.00 per credit hour.
2. Registration of Zero Hours - Such registration provides for examinations, graduations, use of facilities, etc., when deemed appropriate by the University. A student will not be assessed resident tuition.
3. Application Fee - Individuals who make application for admission to the University of North Florida shall pay a non-fundable Application Fee of $30.00 for applications. The application fee may not be assessed for approved undergraduate to graduate admission pathways. This fee will be waived for applicants who can document that they have received a fee waiver because of economic need as determined by the College Board or the American College Testing Program.
4. Admission Deposit - Individuals accepted for admission to the University of North Florida may be required to pay a $200 deposit to secure their admission to the University. Upon enrollment, this admission deposit will be used as a partial payment of the student's tuition. Should the individual not enroll in the University, the deposit is non-refundable. This fee will be waived for applicants who can document that they have received a fee waiver because of economic need as determined by the College Board or the American College Testing Program.
5.

6. Late Registration Fee - The University will assess a late registration fee against students who fail to initiate registration in the regular registration period. The fee shall be $100.00. The University will waive the late registration fee when imposition of a fee would be unjust due to extenuating circumstances.
7. Late Payment Fees - The University will assess a late payment fee or fees to students who fail to pay or make appropriate arrangements for payment (by means of installment payment, deferment or third-party billing), of tuition deadlines set by the University. The fee shall be $100.00 for each.
