Notes about Admission, Tuition Billing & Grade Reporting

Admission & Enrollment Verification.  Within a few days, you should receive a letter from UM-Flint's Director of Graduate Admissions verifying that your Lifelong Learning application has been received and you have been admitted as a Lifelong Learning student by the University.  This mailing will also include written guidelines for accessing UM-Flint's Student Information Services (SIS) in the event you wish to utilize it.  A little later, after your Drop/Add form has been processed by the University Registrar's Office, you'll receive verification via email confirming the course in which you have been enrolled.

Please note that students can elect a maximum of six credits of UM-Flint Credit Option coursework.

Tuition Billing.  The total cost of enrollment in a UM-Flint Credit Option course for the Fall 2009 term is $300 per credit hour undertaken.  The cost of enrollment for the Winter 2010, Spring 2010, and Summer 2010 terms is $325 per credit hour undertaken.  This special rate is available only to individuals enrolled as graduate non-candidates for degree (also called “Lifelong Learning”) in a professional development course offered by one of UM-Flint’s K-12 Partners.  Students who have been admitted to a UM-Flint graduate degree program will be billed at the current tuition rate and fees for these courses.  Tuition can be paid by check or credit card.

To Pay by Check:  make check payable to University of Michigan-Flint; please note your UMID or Social Security Number on the check; mail to Cashier’s Office, University of Michigan-Flint, 261 University Pavilion, Flint MI 48502

To Pay by e-Check or Credit Card:  Online payments are accepted at UM-Flint Payment Suite site:  https://bullwinkle.umflint.edu/tbp/web/login.jsp or at the Student Information Services (SIS) site:  http://www.umflint.edu/sis.  MasterCard, American Express and Discover payments are available through the payment suite site.  (A 2.75% non-refundable service charge will apply on credit card payments.)  See informational flyer.

Recording of Grades.  Grades for Credit Option courses are entered at the end of the semester during which the course is taken.  You will not receive a printed grade report; rather, you may view your final grade online at the University’s SIS shortly following the end of the semester in which the course was taken.  Official transcripts are available by contacting the Registrar at 810-762-3344 or by following the directions for requesting transcripts at http://www.umflint.edu/registrar.
