Fees charged to UMUC students in Asia fall into several categories, as outlined in this section.

All fees are payable in full, in U.S. Dollars, at the times specified. No cash may be accepted. Checks, e-checks, money orders, or postal notes must be made payable to UMUC Asia and must be drawn on a U.S. bank or post office. Payment for tuition, books, transcripts, and other fees may also be made by credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa).

A fee of $30.00 is payable at the time of first registration with UMUC. This non-refundable fee covers the cost of establishing and maintaining the student’s permanent record, the official University document from which transcripts are issued. A student whose first registration is as an Auditor must also pay this fee. GoArmyEd students who wish to pursue a certificate or degree through UMUC Asia should select UMUC Asia as their "home campus" in the GoArmyEd portal and submit a Common Application, and may pay the $30 application fee upon receipt of a bill or by submitting payment in the MyUMUC portal.

Colleges and universities serving the military in Asia have agreed that students seeking a certificate or degree with one of the other institutions are accorded consortium status and may enroll in a limited number of courses with another of the institutions without having to pay a second application fee. These courses must be (a) needed by the student to complete specific certificate or degree requirements and (b) unavailable from the institution at which the student is seeking to earn the certificate or degree. UMUC Asia extends consortium status to Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) students and to students with a Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC) Student Agreement from a SOC college or university. SOC students should submit a copy of their SOC Agreement at the time they initially enroll with UMUC. Active-duty Army students who are degree seeking with another SOC school must follow the instructions in the GoArmyEd portal.

A student who requests an Official Evaluation/SOC Student Agreement from University of Maryland University College thereby indicates interest in earning a certificate or degree with UMUC and is required to pay the UMUC Application Fee if it has not been previously paid.

Tuition is payable at the time of registration. A member of the Armed Forces may be entitled to tuition assistance from the United States government. The student must submit a completed tuition assistance form at the time of registration. GoArmyEd students secure tuition assistance through the GoArmyEd system and do not need to submit a tuition assistance form. If for any reason the government does not provide funding for the course, the student becomes responsible for payment. Students may also qualify for VA and other education benefits.

All students who incur debts to UMUC Asia during a particular term must clear them in order to register for the next term. Payment can be made by check, money order, or credit card. Requests for services, including transcripts, evaluations, and diplomas, will be held and grades and grade point averages will not be posted until all debts have been paid. Outstanding debts will be collected against any refunds due the student. After a reasonable period of time, uncollected debts will be forwarded to the State of Maryland Central Collection Unit and other national credit bureaus.
