Re: Important Fall 2006 Tuition & Fee Information
We hope you are enjoying your summer. As the fall semester nears and you finalize your plans for the academic year, we would like to take this opportunity to share some important information to assist you.
The approved tuition and fee rates for the fall 2006 semester are available at www.umbc.edu/bursar/tuition. Fall semester tuition and fee bills will be available online via myUMBC to all registered students beginning in August.
Please note that UMBC has now moved to an electronic billing (e-billing) system effective for the 2006-07 academic year and paper bills will no longer be mailed. In addition to electronic bill notification via email, e-billing enables students to view their bills and make payments at any time, from any location. The site is easy to navigate and secure. Once a student registers for e-billing, parents and other designees will be able to create their own login to the student’s e-billing account. For more information, please visit www.umbc.edu/bursar/ebilling.
If you are still exploring options to finance your education, we encourage you to take a moment to read more about the following resources offered by the University:
**Monthly payment plan – Pay your tuition and fees in monthly installments. There is still time to sign up! More information is available at www.umbc.edu/bursar/mpp.
**Financial aid – There is still time to apply for financial aid. In addition to limited need-based aid, loan options are available to all students regardless of need. Parent loan options are also available. For more information, visit www.umbc.edu/financialaid.
We would also like to tell you about a way for your family to stay informed about University news and resources. The UMBC Parent Connection e-newsletter is published every other Friday. Family members can sign up or request more information about the UMBC Parents Association by e-mailing parents@umbc.edu.

We look forward to seeing you this fall.
