University of Rochester

GRADUATE EDUCATIONThe University of Rochester is an independent university which offers over

40 doctoral programs and some 60 master’s programs in the following schoolsand colleges:

The CollegeArts and SciencesSchool of Engineering and Applied Sciences

Eastman School of MusicSchool of Medicine and DentistrySchool of NursingWilliam E. Simon Graduate School of Business AdministrationMargaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development

In 2000, the University reached a milestone in its history of graduate edu-cation, awarding its 7,000th Ph.D. degree. The first Ph.D. degree had beenawarded in 1925, and one of the first three to earn the degree at the Universitylater became a Nobel laureate.

The continuing goal of the University is to prepare promising students foroutstanding scholarly and professional achievement—by educating them in thetechnical skills of a discipline and in the moral values of intellectual life. Tothis end, the University has been heavily endowed by many benefactors, includ-ing George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak; Joseph Wilson, founder ofXerox; and Charles F. Hutchison. Today, the University is one of the mosthighly endowed universities in the nation.

The University has some 1,000 tenure-tracked faculty members and roughly6,995 full-time students and 800 matriculated part-time students. Of the full-time students, 4,435 are undergraduates and 2,560 are graduate students.

These 2,560 graduate students are part of six colleges and dozens of pro-grams. Admission is selective so that graduate students are both academicallyand intellectually outstanding. As a result, intellectual life within each programcan be both intimate and challenging. At the same time, it is possible—and infact quite common—for students to reach out to other disciplines for scholarlygrowth.

The great advantage of the University of Rochester is that it offers aca-demic excellence on a personal scale. It is a university that spans the universeof knowledge—yet provides a wealth of opportunities for individual achieve-ment and recognition.

ASSOCIATED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSColgate Rochester Divinity School-Bexley Hall-Crozer Theological Seminary-St.

Bernard’s Seminary is an interdenominational seminary offering graduate programsleading to professional degrees for the ministry. While it is geographically sepa-rated from the University by about one mile and is governed by its own indepen-dent boards, it is affiliated with the University in the sense that students in eachinstitution can take courses in the other and use the libraries of both.

Graduate Student Exchange Scholar Program: Cornell, Syracuse, and Roches-ter offer graduate students the opportunity, when the appropriate course or facil-ity is unavailable in the home university, to take special courses and seminarsand to use the libraries at the other two universities. Inasmuch as each universityhas unique courses and programs, this exchange considerably expands opportu-nities for some students.

Health Plan: All full-time students participate in the student health plan.The health plan has two parts: (1) Mandatory health fee, which covers the costof primary care visits at the University Health Service, time-limited mentalhealth care at the University Counseling Center, health education services, andpublic health surveillance. All full-time students must pay the mandatoryhealth fee, which entitles them to use the University Health Service and theUniversity Counseling Center throughout the academic year and the followingsummer (September to August), as long as they are enrolled on a full-time ba-sis. (2) Health insurance. The health insurance plan covers the cost of servicessuch as surgical procedures, hospitalization, and diagnostic laboratory tests andX-rays; these services are not covered by the mandatory health fee. All full-timestudents must have health insurance in addition to the mandatory health fee.Students who are covered by health insurance comparable to the plan offeredthrough the University Health Service can waive the health insurance and re-main on their own insurance.

Each year all full-time students must submit a Health Insurance Optionsform to indicate whether they are purchasing the University-sponsored insur-ance or waiving the health insurance. Students who waive the health insuranceare responsible for paying any charges which the University-sponsored planwould have covered. For questions about insurance offered through the Univer-sity Health Service, contact the UHS Insurance Advisor at lstrang@uhs.rochester.edu or (585) 275-2637.

Information about the University Health Service is available on the UHSWeb site (www.rochester.edu/uhs). Information is sent to students and is avail-able in brochure racks in UHS and UCC offices and upon request from theUHS Health Education & Communications Office at Box 270472, Rochester,NY 14627-0472, (585) 273-5775.

We will not share information about the fact or the na-ture of a student’s visit to UHS without the student’s express permission. If webecome aware of the hospitalization of a student, we will communicate that factto the appropriate University officials without any diagnostic or treatment in-formation.

After-Hours Medical CareAccess to medical care is provided for students through the University

Health Service 24 hours a day. Throughout the year, whenever UHS is closed,a UHS physician is on call and available by phone (275-2662) from home forurgent concerns that cannot wait until the offices reopen. When UHS officesare closed, the message on the phone will give instructions for contacting thephysician on call. Unless it is an extreme emergency or a life-threatening situa-tion, students should always call or come to the University Health Service be-fore seeking medical care elsewhere.

In order to provide direction in achieving the stated aims of the policy, anEnvironmental Health and Safety Department was formed. Environmental

21GRADUATE STUDENT LIFE

Safety is now part of the University Risk Management & Environmental SafetyDepartment. The department director is the chief safety officer for the Univer-sity. The fire marshal is the safety officer for Strong Memorial Hospital.

The department is responsible for fire safety, through the Fire Marshal’s Of-fice; food safety through the Sanitarian’s Office; pest control through the PestControl Unit; and occupational safety and health through the Industrial Hy-giene Unit. Within the several areas of expertise, these units provide guidance,consultation and training, and perform inspections and tests of facilities andprocedures.

Heavy reliance for ongoing safety programs is placed on departments andsimilar major subdivisions of the University, in recognition of the very wide di-versity of interests of these subdivisions, and equally, to minimize the surveil-lance and policing stigma commonly attached to safety departments.

REFUND POLICYYour official withdrawal or inactive date is determined when you formally

change your status with your college’s Dean’s Office. It is this official “Changeof Status” form that alerts the Registrar, Bursar, Financial Aid, and other appro-priate offices to adjust your account.

Refund of ChargesStudents withdrawing or declaring inactive status through the first 50% of

the term will receive a refund of tuition charges and mandatory fees accordingto the following schedule:

Prior to the first day of classes: 100% reductionDuring the first 10% of the term: 90% reductionBetween the 10% and 25% of the term: 50% reductionBetween the 25% and 50% of the term: 25% reductionAfter the 50% point of the term: 0% reductionExact schedules of these percentages and the dates for each term are available fromthe Bursar’s Office.A separate schedule for the Simon School can be obtained from the Simon SchoolRegistrar’s Office, and a separate schedule for the Eastman School can be ob-tained from the Eastman School’s Registrar’s Office.

Students declaring withdrawal or inactive status for medical reasons orother extraordinary circumstances may be granted prorated charges throughoutthe term with the approval of their college’s dean.

Adjustments to Financial AidFederal regulations determine how the Office of Student Financial Assis-

tance calculates the adjustments to your financial aid to reflect your reducedtuition and fees. These regulations do not permit a proration of your aid in thesame manner that you are charged for tuition and fees. Any credit balance cre-ated by your reduced charges must first be used to repay federal aid, next to stateaid, third to the institution’s aid programs, and finally to the student.

If you receive an adjustment to your financial aid, your financial aid awardwill be reduced in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan, Sub-sidized Federal Direct Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, FederalPell Grant, Federal SEOG, state aid, private aid, and institutional aid.

Examples of refund calculations for students receiving financial aid areavailable for you to review at the Office of Student Financial Assistance. If youare considering withdrawing or taking inactive status, you should consult witha counselor in the Office of Student Financial Assistance to review the ex-amples.

The Bursar’s Office and the Office of Student Financial Assistance willwork together after receiving your official Change of Status notice from the

25

Dean’s Office to determine these adjustments. Every attempt will be made tocomplete the refund calculation within 30 days of your change of status.

FINANCIAL AWARDSIn applying for financial aid, many students are able to pursue graduate

studies by receiving financial aid from the University. Students should also, asa matter of course, apply for fellowships granted by private foundations, by thefederal government (e.g., the National Science Foundation), and by New YorkState.

It is the responsibility of all graduate students to inform their college of fi-nancial aid they receive from non-University sources.

Graduate Fellowships and AssistantshipsThe University awards a large number of fellowships, assistantships, and

scholarships to help graduate students meet the cost of education. Whether thefunds for these awards come ultimately from individuals, corporations, founda-tions, government agencies, or the University itself, the amount and nature ofthe awards are decided by officers of the University.

Awards are made for various periods of time, and all awards are contingentupon satisfactory academic progress. Awards may be terminated at any time ifacademic performance is unsatisfactory. For those fellowships awarded directlyto students from non-University sources, such as foundations or governmentagencies, the term of the grant is up to the donor. Nevertheless, holders of non-University fellowships may be terminated from a degree program during theterm of the award if they do not maintain satisfactory academic standing.

Graduate fellowships are intended to further the recipients’ education andrecipients are expected to devote full time to their studies and to any requiredteaching, research, or training.

Acceptance of Financial AidThe University of Rochester, as a member of the Council of Graduate

Schools in the United States, subscribes to the following statement which hasbeen adopted by most of the leading graduate schools in North America:

“Acceptance of an offer of financial support (such as a graduate scholarship,fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by a pro-spective or enrolled graduate student completes an agreement that both studentand graduate school expect to honor. In that context, the conditions affectingsuch offers and their acceptance must be defined carefully and understood by allparties.

“Students are under no obligation to respond to offers of financial supportprior to April 15; earlier deadlines for acceptance of such offers violate the in-tent of this Resolution. In those instances in which a student accepts an offerbefore April 15, and subsequently desires to withdraw that acceptance, the stu-dent may submit in writing a resignation of the appointment at any timethrough April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15commits the student not to accept another offer without first obtaining a writ-ten release from the institution to which a commitment has been made. Simi-

26 GRADUATE STUDIES

larly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is conditional on presentation bythe student of the written release from any previously accepted offer. It is fur-ther agreed by the institutions and organizations subscribing to this Resolutionthat a copy of the Resolution should accompany every scholarship, fellowship,traineeship, and assistantship offer.”

Government ProgramsThe New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) is a need-based,

tuition-specific grant offered to qualified students who are legal New York State(NYS) residents. Students who indicate that they are NYS residents and willattend a NYS school on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)will automatically be forwarded an Express TAP Application (ETA) from NYSfor the academic year for which they are applying. Award amounts are based onincome, and current graduate award amounts range from $75–$550 per aca-demic year. Students with full (100%) tuition waivers who are eligible for TAPmay see no net increase in their total financial aid, as this departmental awardmoney must be replaced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of their TAP award.Students must be registered full-time (12 CH/sem. or equivalent) and must in-cur a tuition liability to be eligible for TAP (students registered solely as disser-tation are not eligible, as they are not charged tuition). The deadline to applyfor TAP is May 1st of the academic year for which the student is applying.
