Q1. Will tuition or fees be reduced for remote classes or for classes that are moved to remote learning due to COVID-19?

No. The approved Tuition and Fees apply regardless of the method of instruction, including in the event instruction occurs remotely, or in alternative formats, for any part of the academic year. In the event non-mandatory fees, like class, lab or program fees, are substantially unconsumed or unutilized due to COVID-19, decisions for refunding such fees will be made on a case-by-case basis within the school or college.

Q2. If I am attending all classes remotely or otherwise unable to use the union or recreational facilities on campus, do I have to pay the University Unions & Recreational Sports Improvement fee?

Yes. The University Unions and Recreational Sports Improvement Fee is not a use fee, but was advocated by students and designed to offset the cost of structural improvements of these buildings, such as the recent deep renovation of the Michigan Union. This fee is assessed to all University of Michigan students regardless of whether they are on campus or learning remotely. It was instituted in Summer 2014.

Q3. I am an international student taking all classes remotely. Will I have to pay the $500 international fee?

Yes. This is a fee assessed to all enrolled international students with active or initial I-20 or DS-2019 forms, even if taking all classes remotely.
