This fee covers the cost of establishing and maintaining the student's permanent record, the official University document from which transcripts are issued. A student whose first registration is as an Auditor must also pay this fee. Colleges and universities serving the military in Asia have agreed that students seeking a certificate or degree with one of the institutions may enroll in a limited number of courses with another of the institutions without having to pay a second application fee. These courses must be needed by the student to complete specific certificate or degree requirements and unavailable from the institution at which the student is seeking to earn the certificate or degree. A student who requests either a Preliminary or an Official Evaluation from the University of Maryland University College thereby indicates interest in earning a certificate or degree with UMUC and is required to pay the UMUC Application Fee if it has not been previously paid.
Tuition is payable at the time of registration.
A member of the Armed Forces may be entitled to partial tuition assistance from the United States government. The student must submit a completed tuition assistance form at the time of registration. If for any reason the government does not provide funding for the course, the student becomes responsible for payment. Students may also qualify for VA and other education benefits . Payment should accompany each request for a transcript.
