Books and Supplies
Books and supplies are purchased on a semester basis. Students should budget approximately $200 - $750 per semester depending on program of study. Textbooks and supplies are available at the bookstore located on the Donaldson Campus at 1115 North Roberts Street. Tools are required by each student entering Automotive, Aviation Maintenance, Carpentry and Construction, Machine Tool, Diesel, and Welding Technology programs. Students should refer to the tool section of the catalog.
Deferred Fee Payment Plan
A deferred fee payment plan is authorized providing that 1) at least one-third of total fees are paid at the time the deferred fee payment plan is initiated, 2) an additional one-third is paid within the first 30 days of the semester and 3) the full amount is paid within 60 days of the beginning of the semester. Tuition and mandatory fees less any financial aid are eligible for deferral. Execution of a promissory note with the terms and conditions of the deferment will be required. This plan is not available for the summer semester or to any person with an outstanding debt to the College. The Deferred Payment Agreement must be renewed in Business Services at the beginning of each semester.
Students participating in this plan will be assessed an administrative charge of $30 each semester. Failure to make scheduled payments will result in a student being ineligible for future deferment and may result in cancellation of a student’s enrollment with no refund of payments already collected. A $15 fee will be assessed each time a scheduled payment is late.
Non-Payment
Any person who owes the College any fees, fines, or other charges will not be permitted to receive a transcript, diploma, certificate, or academic record; to register or attend classes; or to access any College facilities or services until the debt has been paid or satisfactorily adjusted through Business Services. Interest may be charged at the rate of 10% on the balance due from the day after the due date until the full amount has been paid, and any attorney’s fees or other costs or charges necessary for the collection of the amount owed may be added to the balance due.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
After registration, a schedule bill will be available through the student’s MY UMH web portal. Students are encouraged to review the corresponding Registration Guide for each semester’s tuition and fee payment policies and deadlines. Dates and policies are subject to change each semester.
Students must finalize their payment by signing and returning their bill or finalizing on My UMH by the appropriate date, even if their bill reflects a balance of zero or they have an approved third party payment.
If the bill indicates an amount due, a student must arrange for payment on or before the payment due date. Payment may be made on-line at the MY UMH web site accessible through the home page at www.umhelena.edu. The online system accepts VISA, MasterCard, and e-Checks. Students must finalize their bill online if they are paying online.
Students may also pay by mailing a check or providing credit card information (VISA, Discover, or MasterCard accepted), including the verification number from the signature line on the back of the card. A signed bill must accompany payment if students are mailing in their payment.
Students may also pay in person at the cashier in the Donaldson Building at 1115 North Roberts. At the cashier, students may pay by cash, check, debit card or credit card (VISA, Discover or MasterCard accepted). Students must bring their signed schedule bill with them when paying in person at the cashier.
Don’t forget, all students must sign and return a schedule bill.
