Please refer to the Cashier/Student Accounts website for more complete information regarding tuition and fee rates.
Tuition must be received by the due dates or monthly interest charges will be assessed. Allow a minimum of 5 days handling by the U.S. Postal Service if payment is mailed. Failure to receive an official University tuition and fee statement does not relieve any student of responsibility for payment. Emails are sent to students through their UM-Flint email account letting the student know that their most current bill is ready for viewing. However, students can access their account information 24/7 thru the student account center.
Fees are the student’s contribution toward the cost of instruction, library services, student activities, plant operations, and mandatory payments for debt retirement for parking facilities and the Library. There are certain laboratory charges to cover unusual breakage.
A student may not register for any classes at the University nor are transcripts of credits or diplomas issued until all outstanding fees and charges due the University are paid.
*The University of Michigan - Flint reserves the right to adjust tuition rates and the credit hour range that is assessed the full-time rate.

Purpose of the In-State Tuition Guidelines
The University of Michigan enrolls students from 50 states and more than 120 countries. In-State Tuition Classification Guidelines have been developed to ensure that decisions about whether a student pays in-state or out-of-state tuition are fair and equitable and that applicants for admission or enrolled students who believe they are Michigan residents understand they may be required to complete an Application for In-State tuition and provide additional information to document their in-state tuition status.
Students wishing to apply for in-state tuition must complete an application and submit it to the Residency Office, Office of the Registrar, 500 S State St, Ann Arbor MI 48109-1382. Applications and more information may be accessed at:

Eligibility for Financial Aid
Review student eligibilty for financial aid on-line.
Application Awarding and Notification of Financial Aid
All applicants must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Financial aid offers are determined using a cost of attendance and notifications sent to students weekly once awarding begins for the year.
Sources of Financial Aid
Financial aid is generally available in four different types aid - Grants, Loans, Scholarships, Work Study.
University Specific Scholarships
Scholarships are available to recognize and support academic excellence, activities, service to the university or community, and student research. Some scholarships are open to a wide spectrum of students, while others have specialized criteria. A full listing and general descriptions may be accessed online at the Scholarship Summary.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal law establishes that all students must make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward their degree to remain eligible for financial aid. A SAP Appeal Form is required along with supporting documentation to appeal termination of financial aid eligibility.
Withdrawing from the University
All withdrawal steps are handled by the Office of the Registrar. If students withdraw or are asked to withdraw, they should inquire with the Office of Financial Aid about the impact withdrawing will have on their aid.
Return of Title IV Funds
When students withdraw from all classes, the Office of Financial Aid must calculate how much aid they are entitled to keep (Return of Title IV Funds).
Fee Appeal
Extenuating circumstances may prompt a student to file an appeal to request their charges be reduced; this is called a fee appeal. Filing a fee appeal may impact the student’s financial aid.
Repeated Coursework Policy
Federal financial aid may be impacted by repeated coursework. This federal regulation applies whether or not the student received aid for earlier enrollments in the course.
Students Receiving All “E’s”, “I’s”, and “N’s”
If a student who began attendance and has not officially withdrawn fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course offered over an entire period, the University must assume, for financial aid purposes, that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless the institution can document that the student completed the period.
Study Abroad
If a student is planning to study abroad it is recommended that they schedule an appointment with a financial aid officer approximately 6 months prior to the study abroad experience.
Financial Aid Right, Responsibilities, and Policies
Student should review important information about their rights, responsibilities, and policies surrounding financial aid. Due to the nature of federal, state, and university funding and guidelines affecting financial aid programs, information regarding financial aid offers is subject to change.
