Typical Charges

Michigan does not require prepayment of tuition and fees. Instead, students have two options: they can pay the entire bill at the end of the first month of the term; or in ten monthly installments beginning in July through the Michigan Payment Plan, administered by Academic Management Services (AMS). Students interested in the Payment Plan should contact AMS at 1-800-635-0120 or Student Financial Operations at 734-764-7447 or toll free at 1-877-840-4738.

Monthly statements of account activity are available for students online through Wolverine Access, the University's student database system. Students are sent email reminders to check Wolverine Access for their monthly statement. Students are responsible for payment by the due date.

Students may also use Wolverine Access to sign up their parents to view their student account data and have access to their monthly student account statements (eBills). More information about parent access to eBills is available online at www.sfo.umich.edu.

Payments can be made by electronic check on the web at www.sfo.umich.edu, by mail to the University of Michigan lockbox, or in person at the Cashier's Office, located at 777 N. University Ave. (2nd floor), or room B430 Pierpont Commons. Checks should be made payable to the University of Michigan and include your son or daughter's 8-digit UMID number. Allowances should be made for mailing time when sending payments to ensure they are received by the due date.

Negative Service Indicators (Financial Holds)
Payments not made by the billing date (see above) may result in the placement of a negative service indicator on the student account. A negative service indicator will prevent class registration and the issuance of an official transcript or diploma.

There are several kinds of charges that appear on the statement of account that is sent to the student. These include (but are not limited to):

• Tuition — The amount a student owes for tuition and fees depends on the number of credit hours elected, year in school, school or college enrolled in, residency status, and program. The class schedule print out will list an approximate tuition charge. However, this tuition figure is subject to change.
  
• Registration Fees — There is an $80 registration fee each term. If a student registers late (on or after the first day of classes), he or she will be charged an additional $50. This late registration fee is increased by $25 at the beginning of each subsequent month that it remains unpaid.
  
• Housing — If a student lives in a University residence hall, housing charges will appear on the student account.
  
• Michigan Student Assembly Fee — MSA is the student governing body for the entire University, both graduate and undergraduate populations. Students pay a small amount each term. The student fees are used to fund student groups, a variety of MSA projects, and general operating costs of the Michigan Student Assembly.
  
• School & College Student Government Fee-This fee supports student government in individual schools and colleges within the University.
  
• Entree Plus Charges — If a student requests Entree Plus, these charges will appear on the statement of Account.
  
• Health Insurance for International Students — The University requires all international students to have adequate health insurance. International students who enroll in health insurance through the University's International Center will see health insurance charges on their student account statements.
