Tuition & Fees		2009-2010 budget amounts are based on 30 credit hours for undergraduates ($253/credit hour for Maine residents, $381 for New England Regional (NEHBE) and Canadian students, and $728 for non-Maine residents) and 18 credit hours for graduate students ($379/credit hour for Maine residents, $569 for New England Regional (NEHBE) and Canadian students, and $1,090 for non-Maine residents). 2008-2009 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.
