Date for Payment of Fees: All general student fees for each semester are paid in advance on the corresponding registration day.

Deferred Payment of Fees: As a general rule, no deferred payment of fees is granted. However, in very exceptional cases, the Dean of Students is authorized to grant an extension of time, which cannot be beyond thirty days before the end of the course. In those exceptional cases, a student must apply for deferred payment of fees prior to the registration day with ample time so that the merits of the application can be evaluated. On the registration day, students to whom deferred payment of fees is granted must pay at least 33% of the tuition fees and 100% of the applicable special fees. The balance must be paid at least 30 days before the last day of classes of the semester. Students who fail to pay accordingly must pay a late payment charge of $13.00 dollars.

Students who fail to settle their accounts with the university 30 days before the last day of classes every semester or the specified date for each Summer Session will receive no credit for their work, nor will the Registrar release any transcript of record or other official documents until all outstanding fees and charges have been paid. All fees must be paid in United States currency, certified check, or postal money orders made out for the exact amount to the University of Puerto Rico.

Fees: Students who drop out of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, within the first two weeks of any semester, or the first week of the Summer Session, are entitled to a 50 per cent refund of tuition fees. The application for reimbursement must be approved by the corresponding Dean and the Registrar, and filed in the Treasurer's Office within five days following the date of approval. No refunds are allowed thereafter.

Visitors and students forced to withdraw for disciplinary reasons are not entitled to a refund of fees.

The Medical Services fee, the transfer and readmission fees, the construction fee, laboratory fee and late registration fees are not refundable.

Before leaving the university, the student must return, in good condition, all ROTC and AFROTC property and any other university properties that he or she may have used during the year. The ROTC and AFROTC property custodians will send a written notice to all students who do not return property. If the property is not returned within 30 days of notification, the individual's name will be forwarded to the Registrar. The value of any property that has been lost, damaged or not returned will be deducted from the total of his or her deposits.

The University will retain all fees and deposits not claimed by the end of the second semester of the academic year following payment. All books and/or library materials should be returned to the Library. If any of these materials are overdue, fines should also be paid. Failure to comply with these regulations will cause the student to be included in the Finance Department Debtor's List.
