Senate Bill 19-20-09
| Bill ID: | 19-20-09 |
| Name: | Revision to the Policy on Payment of Tuition and Fees |
| Proposed: | 06/24/2019 |
| Sponsor: | C. Christina Ho, Controller |
| Proposal: | During the recent State Legislative Audit, the UMCP Policy on the Payment of Tuition and Fees (VII-2.20) was found to contradict the USM Policy and current UMCP practices. Specifically, the UMCP Policy states that UMCP does not accept installment plans. UMCP has two methods of installment plans through the use of a third party vendor and private non-standard payment arrangements made between the Office of Student Financial Services & Cashiering and students. The objective of this policy change is to provide an administrative update to an outdated policy. |
