Financial Information
The University expects the student to be financially responsible. All accounts are carried in the name of the student. Bills and statements are mailed to the student, not the parent. All charges are payable in full two weeks before the first day of class for each semester. After that, a $100.00 late fee is assessed. After the fourth week of classes, students with accounts that have not been paid or deferred to financial aid will have their class registrations for the semester cancelled. Financially delinquent students will not be allowed to register for courses and academic records will be withheld until all financial obligations to the University have been satisfied.
The financial requirements of the University, changing costs, state and legislative action and other matters may require an adjustment of these charges and expenses. The University reserves the right to make such adjustments to the estimated charges and expenses as may from time to time be necessary in the opinion of the Board of Trustees up to the date of final registration for a given academic term. The applicant acknowledges this reservation and agrees to the financial terms and conditions of the University by the submission of an application or by registration.
The University of Maine offers a number of graduate teaching and research assistantships to well-qualified applicants. With the recent graduate stipend increase, assistantships include a stipend of at least
$12,500 plus tuition remission and partial health insurance coverage. However, graduate assistantships in some programs commonly provide financial support ranging between $25,000-$30,000. Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator for more information about the availability of assistantships in each graduate program.
