Managing Your Money

Tuition:  You will receive a statement in August for one-half of your tuition and one in January for the remaining half.  If you do not receive a statement, the payment is still due and you should make inquiries to the Student Account Services on Main Campus.  Payment is due January 22 for the spring term and August 22 for the fall term to Student Account Services located on the Lexington campus.  Make the check out to the University of Kentucky and include the return portion of your billing statement.   A mailing address is listed on the statement and an after-hours drop box is available for your convenience. Credit Card payments are accepted; the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry can now accept, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express..

Late fees are assessed for payment received after the deadline unless the Financial Aid Coordinator approves a waiver for specific reasons.  A waiver will not be provided due to late filing of the FAFSA. Students with unpaid tuition bills will be charged 1.25% late fee on the remaining balance by Student Account Services.

Individuals who withdraw from the College after Orientation will be charged a portion or all of the tuition fees depending on the week in the semester that withdrawal occurs.  Loan and scholarship recipients are required to refund any unearned portions to the respective programs according to a federal formula.  The official refund policy is published in the University of Kentucky Bulletin.

Instruments, Sterilization (PTS), Course Fees and CPR: One half of these charges are included on the bill you will receive in August and January to simplify the payment process with Student Account Services

Books:  Required and recommended books may be purchased at nearby bookstores during the orientation period or thereafter.  If funds are delayed for an unavoidable reason, book payment options may be discussed with the Financial Aid Coordinator.

Living Expenses: Your choice of lifestyle will affect the amount of expenses incurred.  If cost containment is a priority, consideration should be given to sharing housing with a roommate.  Obviously, this implies choosing a roommate who will contribute to an environment necessary for success in dental school.  The Office of Admissions and Student Affairs is happy to assist entering students in finding a classmate for a roommate. Budgeting of funds for long distance phone calls, clothing, food, recreation, transportation and incidentals are also important in limiting expenditures to resources available.
