Summer Session

Tuition & Fees

Comprehensive Fee

Students enrolled in any in‑person Summer Session course must pay the comprehensive fee in addition to tuition. This fee is established by the University of Virginia and does not follow the same payment and refund calendar as tuition. The Summer Session office does not manage the billing timeline for the comprehensive fee; students should consult their SIS accounts for specific payment deadlines.

Online & Off‑Grounds Courses

Students taking only online courses or courses held outside UVA Charlottesville are not charged the comprehensive fee. Instead, they pay the Off‑Grounds Fee for Special Academic Programs, which is $12 per credit.

Student Account Charges

Total charges may include past‑due balances (e.g., tuition from prior terms, parking fines, library fines) along with Summer Session tuition and fees.

Summer Session Financial Aid

Contact the Military Educational Benefits (MEB) team in the Office of the University Registrar (UREG) for more information about how to utilize your benefits, in-state residency through the Choice Act*, or Military Priority Enrollment.

              Email: veteransbenefits@virginia.edu

              Phone: 434-982-5300

Please note: Military educational benefits will impact certain financial aid eligibility. They will be included as a financial resource in your financial aid offer and may reduce Virginia state grants, University grants, and private loans. Each financial aid offer type is different, so the military education benefit may affect each person’s offer differently. Before using benefits, please contact Student Financial Services for questions about how your military education benefits may impact your financial aid at sfs@virginia.edu or (434) 982-5300.

*Veteran and Active Duty students should work with the Office of Virginia Status first to determine eligibility for in-state status. Dependents may work with the Military Educational Benefits team for in-status via the Choice Act.

**GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website.
