Field Epidemiology Certificate: Registration Procedures Print

Fall 2008 registration: May 16-August 5, 2008

Some of our instructors choose to start the summer semester early. Watch the website for the starting dates under the curriculum link.

There are three main steps to ensure you are registered for classes:


Step 1: Tuition payment

Tuition Rates:

The tuition rate (in-state $288 per credit hour; out-of-state $578 per credit hour) is dependent upon your residency status as determined by University policies. There is an additional registration fee of $32.00 per semester in addition to tuition fees for the fall and spring semesters and $2.94 per credit hour for the summer semester. This fee must be included in your total tuition submitted to the cashier office.

Tuition rates are determined by the NC legislature and therefore subject to change without notice.

Tuition payments:

If you are mailing in your payment you need to write FEPI/your PID number/term you are registering for on the memo section of your check or money order. Checks need to be made payable to UNC-CH. Once payment is made you will be registered for the requested course. In order to be registered for classes, your tuition payment MUST be received in the cashier's office. Please make sure that you send in your tuition before you send in your registration form or we will not be able to process your registration.

For Master Card or Diners Club credit card payments access the Student Central system, and log on with your ONYEN and password (or PAC and PID) and select the "Pay Your Bill" option found under the Cashier Services menu. The balance will show $0. You will enter the amount owed according to your residence status and the number of credit hours you are enrolling in. You must also include the additional registration fee in your total that you enter in the system. This is to pay your tuition ONLY; you do not register for your courses on this site.

When you pay by credit card, a nonrefundable transaction fee will be added to your bill to cover the cost of providing credit card services. The transaction fee is currently 2% of the total charge and is subject to change if there is a change in the cost of providing the credit card service.

Tuition payments need to be mailed separately to the cashier's office:

UNC-Chapel Hill University Cashier
Ste 2215, SASB North,
Campus Box 1400
450 Ridge Road
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-1400

Residency forms (NC Residents)

As stated above, tuition rates are based on your residency status. Therefore, determining your residency is very important. Please fill out the appropriate form and return it to Michele Fulton, Program Registrar.

If you have lived in the state of North Carolina for three years or longer by the first day of classes of the term for which you are applying, complete the Short Residency Form. If additional information is needed, we will notify you by mail. The short form may be faxed to 919-843-5563, attn: Michele Fulton

If you have lived in the state of North Carolina fewer than three years by the first day of classes of the term for which you are applying, complete the Long Residency Form. The application process will take longer if we have to contact you to request a long residency form. We need to have the original copy mailed to our office. A decision cannot be made on a faxed copy.

If you or your spouse are not US citizens, complete the Supplemental Form in addition to the Long Residency Form.

Once you have submitted a residency form for the program, you will not have to submit another one unless you do not take a course in the fall or spring semester, or your residency information changes.

Military Benefits

If you are actively serving in the military, you can qualify (if approved) for the military tuition benefit. The form needs to be completed and mailed to the Registrar of the program. Go to the UNC web site for Military tuition benefits.

Tuition waiver for UNC-CH employees

All university employees that are taking advantage of the tuition waiver program must submit a new tuition waiver form each semester to the Benefits department. Their phone number is 962-3071. Please make sure that you make a note beside the course you are taking that this is a Distance Learning course (FEPI) so that the paperwork is correct for the cashier office. This is very important! Please have Benefits forward a copy to Debbie Andrews, Campus Box 8165.

Step 2: Registration for classes

You do not need to register for your courses through the online registration system. You only need to complete the registration form and Debbie Andrews will register you for your course. Please fill out the registration form COMPLETELY and submit it to the address or fax number provided at the top. The registration form should not be mailed to the cashier office.

Step 3: Order textbooks-Required

The textbooks required for each course can be found on the curriculum page.

You can order your textbooks from the Health Affairs Bookstore either by phone at (919) 966-2208, or online. Of course, if you live close enough, you can come to campus to buy them. To order books online your ONYEN (User ID) will need to be active. The textbooks and course packs are usually not available to order online until the month that the course begins.

All course materials are under section number 965. 

There are some used books listed for sale on our web site by our current students. We are not involved with the transaction and sale of these text books. You may contact the seller directly to discuss the selling price of the text book and the arrangements to receive them. These books are under the used books link.

You can also try and find used textbooks at these websites:
www.studentlogic.com
half.ebay.com

New incoming students need to complete the to do list before classes begin.
