and students in the Graduate School whose major work is taken in these colleges,
who at the beginning of the college year are and for at least twelve months prior
thereto have been bona fide residents of the State of New York, are exempt from
the payment of tuition fees; provided, however, that no student shall be allowed
to transfer from any such course to another course wherein tuition is charged
without first paying the regular tuition fees for the hours for which he may re
ceive credit in the latter course. (For provisions governing free tuition in the
Summer School in Agriculture, see the Announcement of the Summer Session.)
Members of the instructing staff registered in the Graduate school and having
their major subject in the college or the line of work in which they are instructing,
or already having a degree and registered for the first degree in the college in
which they are instructing, are exempt from the payment of tuition fees and from
the payment of laboratory and shop fees in the department in which they are
employed to give instruction; members of the instructing staff who take work
for which they must pay tuition are required to pay in proportion to the amount
of work for which they are registered.
OTHER FEES
A Matriculation Fee of $10 is required of every student upon entrance into the
University. This fee must be paid at the time of registration.
An Infirmary Fee of $5 a term is required, at the beginning of each term, of
every student, except in the Medical College in New York City. Students in the
Summer Session or the Summer School in Agriculture have the privilege of ad
mission to the Infirmary; they pay no fee in advance, but are liable to the regular
charges for any service rendered them there. For students in the Winter Courses
in Agriculture, the infirmary fee is $3.
A Locker Fee is required at the beginning of each term of every undergraduate
man and every woman of the freshman and sophomore classes. It is $2 a term
for men and $1 a term for women. Its payment entitles the student, as the case
may be, either to the use of a locker, with bathing facilities and towels, in the
Gymnasium, the New York State Drill Hall, or the Schoellkopf Memorial Build
ing, or else to the use of the Women's gymnasium, recreation rooms and play
grounds, and to the use of a locker if that is necessary.
A Graduation Fee is required, at least ten days before the degree is to be con
ferred, of every candidate for a degree. For a first or baccalaureate degree the
fee is $10; for an advanced degree it is $20. The fee will be returned if the degree
is not conferred.
Laboratory Fees. In courses of study that require work in laboratory, shop, or
drafting room, or field work, a fee is charged to cover the cost of material, etc.,
used by the student.
Every student registered in the College of Engineering must pay a laboratory
fee, one-half of the fee at the beginning of each term, at the following annual
rates: Freshmen in the College of Engineering, $25; sophomores, juniors, and
seniors in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, $25; sophomores,
juniors, and seniors in Civil Engineering, $8. Students not registered in the
college of Engineering but taking work in the shops must pay a laboratory fee
at the rate of $3.50 a record hour. (A student who has taken while in a non-
engineering college of the University part of the work required for an engineering
degree shall, before receiving the technical degree, be required to pay to the Uni
versity Treasurer such amount as would have been necessary if he had taken all
such work while registered in the College of Engineering.)
Every student registered in the College of Architecture must pay, at the be
ginning of each term, a laboratory fee of $10. Students not registered in the Col
lege of Architecture are required to pay $5 a term, for each course in which they
may be registered, in design, drafting, or drawing from life; except that when
the student is registered for more than two such courses the total fee shall be $10.
Deposits. In some courses, particularly in Chemistry, the student is required
to make in advance at the office of the Treasurer of the University a deposit of
money to cover the cost of material to be used and supplies to be consumed by
him in the course of the term; accounts are kept and charges are entered against
