Financial Information
Tuition and Fees
All tuition and applicable fees must be paid in full at registration,
unless the student is enrolled in UMUC’s interest-free
monthly payment plan. Students registering by phone via the
Interactive Registration and Information System (IRIS) are
granted a certain number of days for payment to be received.
(If payment is not received by the specified deadline, the registration
may be canceled—unless the student is a financial aid
recipient.)
Payment may be made by cash, check, money order, or
MasterCard or VISA credit cards. Checks should be payable to
University of Maryland University College. Students who qualify
for tuition assistance, financial aid, or veterans benefits should
consult the appropriate sections. Students interested in the
monthly payment plan, administered by Academic Management
Services (AMS), should contact AMS at 800-635-0120 or visit
www.amsweb.com on the Web.
Current Tuition and Fees
Tuition rates and fees are published each semester in the
Graduate Schedule of Classes and are available on the Web at
www.umuc.edu/tuition. Students should review the fee schedule
carefully to see which ones apply. Fees are commonly charged
for applications for admission and graduation, late registration
or changes to registration, make-up testing, technology, transcripts,
and replacement ID cards. There is also a service charge
for dishonored checks.
Refunds
The official date used to determine a refund is either the date
the withdrawal form is hand-delivered to the Information Desk
at the Student and Faculty Services Center, the date and time
of the IRIS or ISIS request, or the postmark date on a mailed
request. The official date for federal financial aid recipients is the
last date of class attendance as determined by federal regulations.
Note: Students in their first enrollment period with UMUC,
who are receiving financial aid (grants, work-study, or loans) and
withdraw from the institution (not merely from a course) before
completing 60 percent of the enrollment period for which they
have been charged, are subject to a new federal pro-rata refund
policy. Financial aid counselors can provide further information.
Refund for Course Cancellations
The university refunds 100 percent of tuition and registration
fees for courses canceled by the university. The application fee is
nonrefundable, even when a course is canceled.
Refund for Student Withdrawals
Tuition is refunded as follows:
For Student Withdrawals During Fall and Spring Semesters
100% From the date of registration until the first class
meeting
75% From the first class meeting until the third class
meeting
50% From the third class meeting until the fourth class

The application and change in registration fees are not refundable.
A $15 withdrawal processing fee is deducted from the
100-percent refund.
For distance education courses, “scheduled weeks” are considered
to start on the first day of the semester and run for one
week periods in succession.
Note: This policy applies only to students not receiving federal
financial aid.
