To Our University Community,

The University of Miami continues to take proactive steps to safeguard the

health and well-being of our community, while still delivering on our mission of

education, research, innovation, and service, and planning for the summer and

fall terms.

We recognize the financial strain faced by many of our students and their

families during this period of unprecedented disruption. To help alleviate some

of these concerns and to support our students, the University is providing

financial relief in a number of ways.

Refund of unused fees

The University will refund student accounts with a prorated amount for any

Spring 2020 fees and services that cannot be provided in an online or virtual

format. This includes housing, dining, parking, student center, wellness center,

health and counseling, student activities, and athletics fees. Fees will be

prorated to March when classes transitioned to an online format. Services that

remain available to students, such as health and counseling services for

Florida residents through telehealth, will not be refunded. Prorated refunds will

be posted to the student account on April 28 and can be viewed in ’CaneLink.

Specific questions may be directed to the dedicated ’Canes Central team.

Federal Work Study and non-Federal Work Study income

The Department of Education authorized the payment of unutilized Federal

Work Study funds to each impacted student. The University has and will

continue to pay hourly Federal Work Study and non-Federal Work Study

student employees through the end of the Spring 2020 semester. Detailed

information has been provided to eligible students.

Support for students experiencing serious financial hardship

Students experiencing serious financial hardship are encouraged to submit to

’Canes Central a request for review of your financial aid arrangements to

determine if you are eligible for an increase in aid or if emergency support may

be available from another source.

The unity of our Hurricanes family in the face of this pandemic—working

together to support one another and to ensure the continuity of education,

research, and patient care—has been inspiring. Supporting our students’

academic pursuits continues to be at the forefront of our efforts, and the wellbeing of our community remains our highest priority. We look forward to a

successful summer term, and to an anticipated on-time, on-campus start to our

fall semester.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey L. Duerk, Ph.D.
