Regulations

Deadline for payment: 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 exceed 30 days before the end of the course. In those exceptional cases, a student must apply for deferred payment of fees in ample time prior to the registration date so that the merits of the application may be evaluated. On registration day, those students to whom deferred payment of fees is granted must pay 100% of Medical Insurance and Special Fees plus 33% of Tuition Fees. The last balance of 33% must be paid at least 30 days before the last class day of the semester. Students who fail to pay accordingly, must pay a $13.00 late fee.

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 not receive credit for their work. The Registrar will not release any transcript of record or other official documents until all outstanding fees and charges have been paid. All fees must be paid for the exact amount using U. S. currency, certified check or postal money order to the University of Puerto Rico.


Honor Registration Exemption

Honor registration is granted only to undergraduate students registered in a full-time program (12 credit hours or more), and it is only effective during the academic year and the following summer session for which it is granted.


Honor Registration Requirements

1. Students who have completed their previous two semesters with full academic programs, a minimum 3.5 GPA and who rank at the top 5% of their class.

2. Students who are readmitted after having interrupted their studies for one or more semesters, who have a minimum 3.5 GPA or higher and who have completed a minimum 12 credit- hours in each of their last two semesters at the institution.



Reimbursements

Students who withdraw from UPRM within the first two weeks of any semester or the first week of a summer session are entitled to a 50% 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 after deadline.

Visitors and students forced to withdraw for disciplinary reasons are not entitled to a refund. Medical services, maintenance, laboratory, late registration, and transfer and readmission fees are non-refundable.


Return of University Property

Before leaving the University, a student is expected to return in good condition all ROTC and AFROTC property and any other UPRM property used during the year. The ROTC and AFROTC property custodians will send written notices to all students who do not comply with this policy. If property is not returned within 30 days after notification, the individual's name will be forwarded to the Registrar. The value of any property which has been lost, damaged, or not returned will be deducted from the total deposit.

Unclaimed fees and deposits will be retained by the university by the end of the second semester of the academic year. Fines will be assessed on any overdue books and library materials. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in the student's inclusion on the Finance Department Debtors' List.
