Budget amounts are
based on 30 credit hours for undergraduates ($241/credit hour for
Maine residents, $362 for
New England Regional
(NEHBE) and Canadian students, and $691 for
non-Maine residents) and 18 credit hours for graduate students ($359/credit
hour for Maine residents, $539 for
New England Regional (NEHBE)
and Canadian students, and $1,034 for
non-Maine residents). Tuition charges billed to the student will be based
on actual enrollment.
|
| Room
& Board |
|
Amounts listed here
are representative of the cost of a double room on campus in a dorm
which is open during breaks, and a meal plan; actual charges will be
based on the student's room selection. Students living in a campus
residence hall are billed on a semester basis by the university for
their room and meal plan. The same figure is used for students
living off-campus (but not with parents), and they should include
their room and board expenses in their year's estimate of expenses.
|
| Books
& Supplies |
|
Textbooks, notebooks,
pens and other miscellaneous school supplies are included in this
category. Actual costs will vary based on the number and type of
courses.
|
|
Travel & Miscellaneous |
|
This category
includes average expenses for necessary trips home when school is
not in session, as well as laundry, clothes, medical and other
personal expenses. Actual costs vary depending on each student's
needs and lifestyle. |
