University Charges, 2011–12
Other Charges
Student Fees: A Student Activities Fee of $60 used by Student Government to support student-sponsored activities, a Student Athletic Facilities fee of $40, and an Academic Technology Fee of $115 are charged per semester. Fees are not prorated for partial enrollment. Fees are not charged when enrollment is less than seven weeks in a semester, or if the entire semester is taken outside of Jefferson County.
Application Fees: All US Citizens and Green Card holders are asked to submit, along with the online admissions application, a nonrefundable application processing fee of $25. International applicants are asked to submit a nonrefundable application processing fee of $50. Payment may be made by credit card or a bank draft.
Tuition Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required for prospective students at the time of confirmation of enrollment at MUM. This deposit may be applied to a student’s Security Deposit at registration.
Security Deposit: Each student in attendance pays a security deposit of $100 at the first registration, which is transferred from one semester to the next and is used to cover any damages or unpaid fines. This deposit is refunded at the end of enrollment less any unpaid charges if, for on-campus students, the Housing Departure Form is submitted within 72 hours of the last day of class.
International Students Health Insurance: International students are charged an estimated $600 per semester for six months of required health insurance unless otherwise insured (proof of other insurance required within two weeks of initial semester registration). Health insurance is not prorated for partial enrollment, except for three-month increments (approximately $300) as long as no claims have been incurred. Insurance amounts listed on the Financial Aid Award Letter are estimated until the rates are finalized with the insurance provider.
Transcendental Meditation® Program Tuition: Undergraduate students and US Graduate students will receive a scholarship from the David Lynch Foundation covering the tuition of the University's TM course. International graduate students will receive a loan for the $625 TM tuition. Prospective students who receive instruction in the TM technique before enrollment, as part of their admissions process, may be eligible for a reimbursement of the cost of the instruction after they enroll at the University, from the David Lynch Foundation, through the Office of Admissions.
TM-Sidhi® Course Tuition: Students may receive four academic credits from MUM for the TM-Sidhi course taught by Maharishi Foundation in coordination with MUM through a contractual agreement. The David Lynch Foundation has announced a scholarship to reduce the cost of the course tuition from $2,500 to $1,250 for Maharishi University of Management students. An additional scholarship of $750, reducing the tuition to $500, is also available to students who meet specific criteria. Off campus students must also pay the accommodation for two weeks in residence, around $300.
