Deposits

Upon acceptance, all students are required to pay a $50 Tuition deposit. The Tuition deposit is credited to the student’s account and is applied as a payment toward the student’s first semester bill. For the Fall semester, Tuition deposits are not refundable after May 1 and Room deposits are not refundable after June 1. For the Spring semester, neither deposit is refundable after January 1.

Financial Responsibility

All accounts are in the student’s name, regardless of the source of payment. The University expects the student to be financially responsible. Bills and statements are mailed to the student, not the parent. All charges are payable in full by the due date on the Invoice.

Payment Methods

Payments may be made in cash, personal checks, bank drafts, and money orders. The University also accepts Debit and Credit Cards issued by MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. To insure proper credit, cash payments should always be made in person.

Installment Payment Plans

Each semester, the University provides an option to pay a semester bill in five monthly installments. The Fall semester payments are payable in August through December. The Spring semester payments are payable in January through May. Students or parents electing the payment plan option must enroll with the University’s Student Financial Services Office. Each semester, an enrollment form with instructions is included with the student’s first bill. No formal payment plans are available for the Summer session. However, the University will make arrangements with students on an individual basis.

Financially Delinquent Accounts

Financially delinquent students will be subject to the following administrative sanctions:

  • They are prevented from receiving an official certified copy or unofficial copy of their transcript and diploma.
  • They are prevented from registration or pre-registration at any university in the University of Maine System.
  • The University may disclose (directly or through its collection agencies) to a credit bureau organization that the student has failed to pay an assessed charge.
  • The University may use in-house collection efforts, commercial firms, legal services, and the State of Maine Bureau of Taxation for collection on the accounts.
