<p>Looks like the first semester tuition, fees, room and board bill is now available online: [University</a> of Maryland | Testudo | Interactive Web Services for Current Students, Prospective Students, & Alumni](<a href=“http://www.testudo.umd.edu/]University”>http://www.testudo.umd.edu/)</p>
<p>I believe it is due by August 20th. Get out those wallets! ;)</p>
<p>This is what my account says:</p>
<p>12/11/2007 PRIOR BALANC<br>
200808 07/21/2008 FALL RM CH $2,701.00<br>
200808 07/24/2008 BOARD FALL $1,899.00 </p>
<p>Total Account Balance: $4,600.00</p>
<p>Looks like they still haven’t added my tuition fee…</p>
<p>^^ Have you been to orientation yet?</p>
<p>@oregon: Orientation is this monday…</p>
<p>The total cost for the semester on mine is $15,937.95. Although its still alot of money I can’t imagine what some of my friends payments are like at more expensive, private universities.</p>
<p>What is the Mandatory Fee of $719.45 on the bill?</p>
<p>^^I wondered that, too, until I realized it’s part of the “tuition and fees” that is listed all together on this page:
[Full-Time</a> Undergraduate Fees, Financial Service Center, University of Maryland](<a href=“The University of Maryland | A Preeminent Public Research University”>The University of Maryland | A Preeminent Public Research University)</p>
<p>so with the online bill-paying, is there anything special we need to do if our parents are the ones writing the checks/paying the bill? i just don’t want to accidently sign up to pay under MY name and end up having to transfer money into my checking account to pay for school</p>
<p>Perhaps you could have the bill-paying parent fill out the online bill payment information. Unless you give UMD your bank’s routing number and your own checking account number, they can’t take money from your account.</p>
<p>The mandatory fees breakdown can be viewed at [Part-Time</a> Undergraduate Fees, Financial Service Center, University of Maryland](<a href=“The University of Maryland | A Preeminent Public Research University”>The University of Maryland | A Preeminent Public Research University) It breaks it down by credit for the part-time student, but shows full-time as well.</p>
<p>Basically, it pays for all your athletic tickets, your gym membership, the union, the bus, performing arts, etc.</p>
