Tuition and Fees
When you register as a student, Student Financial Operations will start keeping track of the amount of charges you owe the University. There are several kinds of fees that will be charged to your account.
The amount you owe for tuition will depend on five factors: the number of credit hours you elect; your classification (i.e., graduate student); what school or college you are enrolled in; what your major is; and your Michigan residency status. The University’s residency classification guidelines can be found on the web at http://ro.umich.edu/resreg.php. You can obtain applications and more information at the Residency Classification Office, a division of the Registrar’s Office, 500 S. State Street, 764-1400.
You will owe tuition and fees each term, and you will receive an approximate figure of your charges when you register for classes. You should note, however, that the amount quoted is subject to certain frailties. First, it may change. If, for example, your classification switches or if you alter your course elections through the drop/add process, the amount of your bill may change as well. Second, the estimated figure does not include all fees. Finally, you should remember that you will remain responsible for paying the correct amount at the correct times.
MSA Fee
The Michigan Student Assembly is the student governing body for the entire University, both graduate students and undergraduates. During the 2009-2010 school year, students were assessed $7.19 each term, and this money made up almost 99% of MSA’s revenue. The money is used for a variety of purposes, including funding for student organizations on a case-by-case basis; for MSA Committee Budgets; and for general operating costs. More information on these fees can be obtained from the MSA Office, 3909 Michigan Union, 763-3241.
Student Legal Services Fee
Student Legal Services provides free legal advice to students, especially in the area of landlord-tenant disputes. During the 2008-2009 school year, students were assessed $6.00 each term. Further questions should be addressed to the Student Legal Services Office, 2304 Michigan Union, 763-9920.
School or College Government Fee
The School or College Government fee supports student government in individual schools and colleges within the University of Michigan. During the 2008-2009 school year, students were assessed $1.50 each term. Further questions should be directed to the student government office in your school or college.
