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 a 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: A nonrefundable application processing fee is submitted by international applicants along with their application for admission. When you apply you will be required to submit US $30 application fee payable by Visa or Mastercard (or $45 if paid by bank draft).

Tuition Deposit: A refundable deposit of $100 is required for prospective students at the time of confirmation of enrollment at Maharishi University of Management. 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 $675 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 $338) as long as no claims have been incurred. Each year we estimate an increase in health insurance. Then when the rates get finalized with the insurance company providing this service, these charges will get adjusted.
