Fall 2009 Billing Information
When will I receive a bill and when will the bill be due?
Bills will be mailed directly to students beginning in mid July 2009. For students who have registered for classes for the Fall 2009 semester by July 10th 2009, your bill will be due August 15th, 2009. For students who register for classes after July 10th 2009, the due date will appear on your initial bill. For the Fall 2009 classes, you will be sent one paper bill. After the initial semester paper bill is sent, you will be sent periodic updates regarding your financial status via email. The email message will be sent your maine.edu address, and provide you with a link to the MaineStreet portal and will also contain instructions on how to pay any balance due or receive a credit refund. To view your student account details, please log into the MaineStreet portal: click the Student Self-Service link and then click the Student Center link under the Finances section click on the double arrows next to Account Activity.
What types of charges may appear on my bill?
In addition to tuition and fees the following charges may appear on your student bill: library fines, parking tickets, UMaine health insurance and other miscellaneous charges.
How do I avoid a late fee and what is anticipated resources?
First, log into the MaineStreet portal and click the Student Self-Service link, followed by the Student Center link, so that you can view your current bill. The next step is to determine what funds have been applied to your bill by viewing the Account Activity. If there are funds that have not yet been applied to your bill, you must enter information about those funds on the Anticipated Resources page in Self Service. To access Anticipated Resources from your Student Center, click on the Self Service menu, followed by Campus Finances. Examples of information that might be entered in this area because the funds are not yet showing on your bill include: outside scholarships, waivers or a graduate /form assistantship, installment plans that have been completed but are not showing on the bill, or payments that are being made by your employer or another agency. Charges that will be covered by the Anticipated Resources will be deferred but only if the anticipated funds are listed in Anticipated Resources. Please pay any remaining portion of the bill that will not be covered by funds listed in Anticipated Resources by the due date on the bill. Failure to provide this information and pay any remaining balance will result in a $100.00 late payment fee.
