The financial requirements of the University, changing costs, state and legislative action, and other matters may require adjustment of these published charges and expenses. The University reserves the right, up to the date of final registration for a given academic term, to make such adjustments as may be deemed necessary by the University of Maine System Board of Trustees.

The unified fee is used to acquire up-to-date technology equipment and services for students, and it supports Mantor Library, intercollegiate athletics, and student organizations.

Other Fees

  • Technology fee- $10 per credit for every student
  • Individual courses also have additional books and course fees. Notification about these costs is available at the time of registration.
  • Non-matriculated students pay an additional $50.00 per semester Outreach Fee
  • Matriculated degree students pay an additional Tk20 Assessment Fee - $139.00 one-time fee

Health Insurance

The University of Maine System no longer requires students to provide proof of health insurance nor will the University of Maine System automatically enroll students in a health insurance plan.

Please note: Some students may still be required to carry health insurance (i.e. Graduate Assistants intercollegiate athletes, and International students).

Registration

By registering at the University of Maine at Farmington, students agree to pay all charges on their tuition and fee accounts when due. They also acknowledge that failure to make a required payment by the stated deadline can result in late payment and service charges, inability to register for a future term, and/or withholding of a transcript and/or diploma.

A student’s registration may also be blocked if immunizations have expired or library materials have not been returned.

Financial Responsibility Statement

The Financial Responsibility Statement (FRS) is a statement that describes the financial obligation a student accepts when he or she enrolls for classes at any campus of the University of Maine System. The statement, and its acceptance, is a legal agreement between the student and the University of Maine System. Ensuring that students understand the financial commitment they are making when they register for courses is an important component of a student’s financial literacy and is also required by the Federal Bureau of Consumer Protection.

The FRS will need to be completed prior to registration each fall/spring term and will cover registration at any of the University of Maine System campuses. A registration hold will prevent you from registering for classes until you complete the online FRS process. The hold will be removed immediately upon completion.

Methods of Payment

If you are enrolled in a UMF course, you are considered to be a UMF student.

  • By registering for the course, you acknowledge your understanding that a seat has been reserved for you and that you are responsible for payment.
  • Payment or a 3rd Party Authorization (P.O.) is required when you register. Late fees may be assessed on any accounts not paid in full at the time of registration.
  • You may not receive a paper bill for your course(s). Please log on to MaineStreet to see your bill.
  • You can pay your bill by:
    • Debit or credit card (Master Card, American Express, Visa or Discover) through your Student Center
    • Electronic check (ACH), through your Student Center
    • Check. Please mail to Merrill Center; 224 Main Street; Farmington, ME 04938.

If your school district is paying for the course, please fax the purchase order to 207-778-7555 or mail it to UMF at the address above. If your district will pay only after you receive your grade, you will need to pay UMF up front and be reimbursed after you complete the course and meet your district’s requirements; otherwise, you will be charged a $50 late fee.

Tuition and Fee Adjustments

You may drop a UMF course, or withdraw from the University of Maine System, by contacting Merrill Center (207-778-7100). The date you contact the UMF Merrill Center regarding your intent to withdraw or drop a course will determine your financial adjustment, if any.

If you fail to notify the UMF Merrill Center that you stopped attending or never started your course(s), you will receive a failing grade and will be charged full tuition and fees.
