Rate Information
Residence hall room and board fees and apartment rental charges are the same for residents of the State of Michigan and out-of-state residents.

Room and board rates include the 150 block plan. Rates may increase when other mealplans are selected in place of a standard meal plan.

All residence hall contracts, once signed, are legally binding and non-cancelable for the entire contract period. Room/apartment or room and board assessments are due at the end of August for Fall Term and the beginning of January for Winter Term. There is a different payment schedule for students and families that have signed up for the University's Budget Payment Plan.

All utilities are included except long distance phone charges. The residence hall basic package of cable television service is automatically provided in each residence hall room/apartment with the cost equally divided between occupants of the room. Residents can cancel cable service or modify billing to exclude a roommate via an online form during the first two weeks of each term. Residence hall student government dues are added as a one-time special assessment to the September account statement for the entire contract period.

Financial Aid recipients: financial aid awards for undergraduates are calculated using the cost of a standard residence hall double to determine academic year room and board in a student budget. Students receiving financial aid are eligible to sign for any room or apartment type but would be responsible for supplementing the cost that exceeds the standard double rate as defined in their award notification. More information on how the student budget is established is available from the Financial Aid Office.

Checks should be written payable to the University of Michigan and include the resident's UMID number. Checks may be mailed to Department #77272, Student Financial Operations, University of Michigan, PO Box 77000, Detroit, MI 48277-0272. Payments may also be made personally at the Teller Services Office, 2226 Student Activities Building.

Penalties will be charged on accounts which are not paid in full by the due date.
