Payment Policies
As of summer 2003 term, the Bursar's Office does not cancel student class schedules or course registration due to non-payment.
Should you decide not to attend the semester it is your responsibility to officially withdraw from the class or classes, by submitting a written request to the Office of Records or online using MYUB system. Failure to withdraw will result in you being charged for the semester and a grade of "F" being issued.
Payment Plan
The payment plan is online and partnered with Sallie Mae. The web address is http://www.tuitionpayenroll.com. There is a $25.00 enrollment fee for this service. This is an interest free payment plan. Payments can be made by ACH withdrawal or credit card. Credit card payments will be assessed a convenience fee based on the amount of the monthly payments. These payments can only be made through Sallie Mae Payment Plan Website. For more information about these services please contact Sallie Mae at (888) 267-7526 or visit the Sallie Mae website http://www.tuitionpayenroll.com.
Dropping from Full Time to Part Time
Also, if you are a full time undergraduate student who registers for 12 or more credits, you will be charged the appropriate resident or non-resident full time rate. If you then drop to less than the full time after the first week of classes, there will be no reduction of charges from the full time rate to the part time rate

Outstanding Balances
Students with outstanding balances from prior semesters may not be allowed to register for the current term. Also, students with outstanding balances will not be allowed to receive University services including transcripts and diplomas until the balanced owed to the University of Baltimore is paid in full. Furthermore, students who are not paid in full by the payment due date for the term may be subject to a $75.00 late payment fee.
Delinquent Accounts
Should your account become delinquent, the account will be sent to the State Collection Unit, at which time a 17% collection fee will be imposed. Also please note that the Central Collection Unit of the State of Maryland will intercept Maryland income tax refunds of individuals indebted to the state colleges and Universities, for tuition fees and other costs. They may also report the debt to a credit bureau.
Returned Checks
Stopping payment on a check does not constitute an official withdrawal from the University. However your class schedule may be administratively rescinded. Your University account will be assessed a $25.00 penalty fee for every check that does not clear our bank of any reason.
Payment Options
The University accepts payment by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Cash and Check. All checks must be made for the exact amount and made payable to the University. Two party and post-dated checks are not accepted.
Third Party Contracts
You will need to bring or fax the third party billing authorization form to the Bursar's Office, in order for us to bill your employer/organization, no later than the payment due date for the term. Please note until the payment is received in full, your account will be treated as your account. This means if the payment is not paid by the date service indicators are being placed, your account will be subject to receiving a service indicator which will prevent future registration, transcripts and/or degrees release, and your account will be subject to all collection activity including being forwarded to the Maryland Central Collection Unit.
Please call 410-837-4848, for more information.
Waivers
Students eligible for tuition waivers, include:
- UMS employees, their spouses and dependents
- senior citizens
- graduate assistants
- Maryland National Guardsmen
All students receiving tuition waivers must have their waivers and their total fee payment in the Bursar's Office by the established payment date for the term.
Tuition
- Graduate students taking undergraduate courses will be charged at the undergraduate tuition level.
- Undergraduate students taking graduate courses will be charged at the graduate tuition level.
- Students who register to audit a class are charged the same tuition and fees as a graded course.
Disbursement of Loan Checks
The Bursar's Office will begin releasing your loan checks, as soon as the Financial Aid Office clears them. Federal law prohibits us from taking prior balances out of your current Federal Funds.
It takes three to four weeks after financial aid has been posted to an individual Bursar's Office account for receipt of a financial aid check.
Once requested, Annapolis will mail the check to your home, therefore it is important that you keep your address updated.
