EXPLANATION OF FEES
Application Processing Fee

Enrollment Deposit
The enrollment deposit guarantees your place in the upcoming session. Applicants will not be issued an I-20 until the enrollment deposit is paid.
Visa Compliance Fee (VCF)
The visa compliance fee applies specifically to students with an F-1 visa. Students are charged this fee in the Fall and Spring sessions, not Summer. For more information please about the VCF fee, please visit the Center for International Students and Scholars Website.
Course Fees
Course fees based on 22 hours of English instruction per week.
Health Insurance
All full-time UCAELI students are required by the University to maintain health insurance coverage. Students must provide proof of adequate insurance before the start of each semester in order to waive the university insurance charge. For more information about the University Insurance Plan, please visit the Student Health and Wellness Website.
Student Health and Wellness Fee (SHaW)
The mission of SHaW is to support the optimal well-being of all UConn students by providing the highest quality compassionate care and exceptional health and wellness programs. Students are charged this fee in the Fall and Spring sessions, not Summer. Please visit the Student Health and Wellness Website for more information.
Transit Fee
The transportation fee allows students access to the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s U-Pass program. U-Pass CT is valid for unlimited rides within Connecticut on all local & express buses, CT Fastrak (bus), Shore Line East (rail), and the Metro North Train, for traveling within Connecticut for no additional cost. For more information about the transit fee and U-Pass, please visit the Parking Services Website.
LanguageCert Academic Test (LCA)
The LanguageCert Academic (LCA) Test is an online test that will provide feedback on your English language proficiency. There are four scored sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. UCAELI will use your LCA test results and feedback from your UCAELI instructors to determine how many university courses you may take during the first semester of the Pathway Program.
Conditionally admitted / Pathway students will be expected to register and take this exam in early August.
On-Campus Housing, Storrs
Applicants must fill out separate application for on-campus housing. Accepted students will be notified of the housing application deadline. Students are not able to select which dormitory they will be placed in. Students may be placed in a single, double or triple room. Some dormitories have shared kitchens.
Please refer to the Residential Life website for details regarding student housing and fees.
Meal Plan
Students who live in dormitories without kitchens are required to purchase a full meal plan. There are several meal plan options available. Please refer to the Dining Services website for details regarding dining and meal plan prices.
**Students living in dormitories with kitchen access can be exempted from purchasing meal plans.**
Commuter meal plans available.
Student Fee Bill
The student fee bill will be available the first week of classes and must be paid by the 10th day of class.
Refund Policy
If you decide not to attend the program, your $150 application fee will not be refunded. However, if you submit a new application within 12 months from the date of the first application, we will credit the $150 application fee to your account.
If a student drops out of the program after the first day of classes, refunds will be issued according to the University of Connecticut refund policy.
In case of illness or other emergency, UCAELI will refund your course fees on a prorated basis upon receipt of proper documentation.
The $350 enrollment deposit will not be refunded unless your visa has been denied. If you choose to defer your acceptance, you will need to pay the $350 enrollment deposit again. If your visa has been denied and you need a refund, you will need to submit documentation showing that your visa was denied.
