Student Affairs

Fees charged to UMUC students in Asia fall into several categories, as outlined in this section.

All fees are payable in full, in U.S. Dollars, at the times specified. No cash may be accepted. Checks, e-checks, money orders, or postal notes must be made payable to UMUC Asia and must be drawn on a U.S. bank or post office. Payment for tuition, books, transcripts, and other fees may also be made by credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa).

Payments should be made by going to the MyUMUC Student Portal and clicking MyFinances -> Make a Payment.

Application Fee

A fee of $50.00 is payable at the time of completing an application with UMUC. This non-refundable 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. GoArmyEd students who wish to pursue a certificate or degree through UMUC Asia should select UMUC Asia as their “home campus” in the GoArmyEd Portal and submit a Common Application, and may pay the $50 application fee upon receipt of a bill or by submitting payment in the MyUMUC portal.

Colleges and universities serving the military in Asia have agreed that students seeking a certificate or degree with one of the other institutions are accorded consortium status and may enroll in a limited number of courses with another of the institutions without having to pay a second application fee. UMUC Asia extends consortium status to Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) students and to students with a Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) Student Agreement from a SOC college or university.

Tuition

Tuition and fees are to be paid no later than the tenth calendar day of the session. If you have a question regarding your account, please contact the Business Office.

A member of the Armed Forces may be entitled to tuition assistance from the United States government. The student must submit a completed tuition assistance form at the time of registration. GoArmyEd students secure tuition assistance through the GoArmyEd system and do not need to submit a tuition assistance form. If for any reason the government does not provide funding for the course, the student becomes responsible for payment.

Students may also qualify for Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits and other forms of financial assistance. Information on financial assistance (loans and grants) and VA benefits may be found here.

Student Indebtedness

All students who incur debts to UMUC Asia during a particular session must clear them in order to register for the next session. Payment can be made by check, e-check, money order, or credit card. Requests for services, including transcripts, evaluations, and diplomas, will be put on hold until all debts have been paid. Outstanding debts will be collected against any refunds due the student. After a reasonable period of time, uncollected debts will be forwarded to the State of Maryland Central Collections Unit and other national credit bureaus. All such debts incur an additional 17 percent processing charge by the State of Maryland.
