Senior citizens may take courses tuition-free, although technology fees are charged. The Board of Trustees sets tuition annually for all Maine technical colleges. SMTC assesses certain fees and deposits in addition to traditional tuition, room and board. Technology fees, for example, underwrite operational costs associated with specific academic programs.
More expensive programs charge higher technology fees.
Meal coupon books are also available through the Bursar s Office. Students who live at SMTC are required to participate in SMTC s meal plan. Some SMTC students live and eat in Portland Hall near the USM campus. Housing questions may be directed to the Office of Admissions. Questions regarding college charges and the payment of semester bills should be directed to the Bursar, SMTC, Fort Road, South Portland, ME 04106.
