Student Fines

Common Charges

UVM Student Financial Services issues bills for charges incurred across the University. Student Financial Services cannot adjust, waive, or provide a detailed explanation of charges assessed by other campus departments.

Supplemental Room charges/credits : Entering first-year students are initially billed before their actual room assignment is known and are billed for a traditional double. The bill is adjusted once an actual room assignment is determined. This will result in an additional charge if the actual room is more than a traditional double; or a credit if it is less expensive. Room charges are also adjusted throughout the year based on room changes or changes in the number of roommates.

Please direct any questions about room charges to Residential Life at (802) 656-3434.

Course Specific Fees and Lab fees: Additional fees for materials and/or services associated with certain courses (for example a fee for art supplies or certain software). For questions about the specific materials or services funded by a lab or course fee, consult your course instructor.

Health Center Charges: The UVM Student Health Center does not bill directly to health insurance providers. Charges are billed to the student’s UVM account. Students are provided a summary of charges when leaving the health center which may be used to request reimbursement from a health insurance provider. Questions about health center charges should be directed to the Student Health Center at (802) 656-3350.

Grp Ex (Fall/Spring): Group Exercise Charge. These charges are assessed for various group exercise classes run by campus recreation. Examples include yoga classes and fitness training classes. Questions about group exercise charges should be directed to the campus recreation department (802) 656-3070.

Hall Damage Charges: Damages to dormitory rooms will be charged to your student account. Charges may be assessed if a student was directly responsible for charges; or to all students in a dormitory if damages were assessed to common property and no single responsible party is identified. Any questions about dormitory charges should be directed to Residential Life at (802) 656-3434.

Library Fines: The Bailey-Howe Library at (802) 656-2023 and/or the Dana Medical Library at (802) 656-2200 may charge your account for any books or reference materials not returned on time. For questions about library fines, contact the library directly.

Judicial Fines: Fines assessed through the student judicial process will be charged to your student account. Any questions about these charges should be directed to the Center for Student Ethics & Standards (802) 656-4360.

Returned Check Fees: $18 fee assessed for each check or ACH payment returned by your bank. Returned check fee will be assessed for electronic check payments made online which cannot be processed for any reason – including account and/or routing numbers entered incorrectly.
