Estimated Expenses for Two Semesters
Estimated tuition, fees, and room and board for two semesters are as follows (a bank or sponsorship letter should cover the total estimated expenses):

*Medical insurance: All international students are required to purchase the medical insurance provided through the University of Miami Student Health Service.
**Based on 12-20 undergraduate credits per semester.

Payment of tuition, fees, housing, and food expenses is required at the beginning of each of the two semesters. Please note that all fees payable to the University of Miami (application fee, enrollment and housing deposits, tuition, and meals)  must be payable in U.S. funds by international money orders or by checks issued in the United States.  Therefore, if you are paying any of the above mentioned fees from abroad, be sure to ask your bank for an international money order. International students should be familiar with the regulations of their government about sending money to the United States and make arrangements to have the necessary funds available at the designated times.
