Unified Fee – This fee replaces individual course and lab fees in many courses taken by students and covers fixed costs of providing educational and student services not directly related to course instruction. The areas supported include, but are not limited to student services (Counseling and Career Centers for example), the operation of facilities such as student centers, and student-utilized, instruction-related technologies. Academic transcripts are also included in the cost of the fee. The fee is charged to all students regardless of services utilized based on enrollment level. Student Life continues to make services available during the COVID-19 campus closure. Visit Student Life’s website for more information.

Recreation Center Fee – This fee supports the Rec Center debt service, equipment maintenance and replacement, and operation of the Student Recreation Center. It includes access to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center and The Maine Bound Adventure Center. This fee also includes unlimited Level I adult group exercise classes, Intramural Sports and Sport Club participation. Also included are reduced program fees for specialty fitness programs, Maine Bound Trips and courses, equipment rental, and other programs. This fee will be assessed for all credit hours taken at the University of Maine regardless of class structure or individual use of Rec Center facilities.
