Students may pay their residence fee in installments. The exact amounts and due dates appear in the Residential Lease Agreement. The following charges are separate from the regular fees. For charges due to late registration or course changes made after the deadlines, see Registration . All Rice students must have health insurance.
Dependent coverage is also available.
Both the Cashier s Office and the Office of Student Activities have application forms and policy descriptions. Students who already have medical insurance must obtain a waiver form showing proof of insurance, sign it, and return it to the Cashier s Office by August 10 to avoid being charged automatically for insurance. No student in arrears in any financial obligation to Rice as of the last day of registration for any semester can register for classes. The university will not issue certificates of attendance, diplomas, or transcripts at any time for a student whose account is in arrears. Students who have not made satisfactory arrangements with the cashier for payment of current charges or who have moved on campus without a proper room contract may be dismissed from the university.
