Students are required to register vehicles and purchase parking permits at certain campuses. Check with the Business Office at a regional campus, with Traffic and Parking Services at Storrs, or your BGS advisor for information on parking fees and regulations.

Any registration received after published deadlines for fall semester, Winter Intersession, spring semester, May Term and Summer Sessions will be charged a $50 late registration/late payment fee.
A $25 non-refundable service charge is assessed each time a student’s bank does not honor a check paid to the University.
BGS Application and Evaluation Fee
A $95 application and evaluation fee is due upon submission of your application to a BGS advisor.
Matriculated BGS students must register each fall and spring semester. Registration must be for:
| 1. | A UConn credit class (in which case the Continuous Registration Fee is not required), or |
| 2. | A class at another college or university (in which case the student must register for GS 3201*, formerly GS 201), which requires an Infrastructure Maintenance Fee of $48, or |
| 3. | GS 3200* (formerly GS 200), Continuous Registration (which indicates that no class is being taken at any institution, including UConn), and requires a Continuous Registration Fee of $45 per semester, plus Infrastructure Fee of $48. |
*Note that with course renumbering, effective Academic Year 2008/2009, the former GS 201 is now GS 3201, and the former GS 200 is now GS 3200.
A $50 deposit account must be maintained at all times. This entitles students to student ID card validated each semester. The deposit is refunded, minus any fines, service charges, breakage charges, etc., once a student graduates or officially withdraws from the University.
There is a one-time UConn Co-op bookstore membership fee of $25, which is refunded after graduation or official withdrawal from the University.
Additional fees and charges (i.e. room, meals, student health services, summer activities, lost ID cards) are available on the main University of Connecticut Web site.
Cancellations (Withdrawals) and Refunds
All registration cancellations (considered to be withdrawals from the University) must be made in writing to either campus registration staff or a BGS advisor, and can be either hand-delivered or mailed. If mailed, the post office cancellation date on the envelope will be used to determine the official cancellation date, for refund purposes. If delivered in person, the date of delivery to the campus will be used to determine the cancellation date.
The University grants a full refund of advanced fees to any student who is academically dismissed. In certain other instances, including illness, adjustments to the schedule of refunds can be made at the discretion of the Dean of Students.
Where notice of cancellation is received through the first day of classes of a semester, a full refund (less the nonrefundable acceptance fee and room deposit fee, if applicable) is made if fees have been paid in full.

After the first day of classes, withdrawal adjustments are made only on refundable fees according to the following schedule:
