Summer Programs | Tuition and Fees

Residential students are housed on the main campus in one of the University of Miami’s residential colleges used by UM undergraduates during the academic year.

Students have roommates and floormates who share similar academic interests. Trained residential staff live on the designated Summer Scholars floors with the participants to promote safety and wellbeing, and to create welcoming learning communities. Rooms are assigned by gender with male and female students on separate floors. We are an inclusive community.

Accommodations are air-conditioned and include desks, beds and bureaus for two students.

All residential areas are equipped with University Wi-Fi and all bedrooms are equipped with a port for wired connectivity.

Study lounges, laundry facilities, and vending areas are located inside the residential college.

Students have easy access to the University’s outstanding sports and recreational facilities.

• Please note, tuition and fees are mandatory and will be billed to the student's account.
• Fees not included: Transportation to and from campus, meals off campus, shopping, spending money, and medical expenses. 

The Commuter Program is for students who will live at home with parents or relatives in Miami-Dade or Broward County. 

Summer Scholars is designed for the enjoyment of all students. As part of the program, commuters attend classes, eat lunch on campus, and take part in program activities. Commuters who appreciate their experience most participate in evening and weekend activities. Activities give students time to bond with a diverse group of individuals outside of class and form long-lasting friendships. The individual student experience will be shaped by activity choices and level of engagement on campus.

• Please note, tuition and all fees are mandatory and will be billed to the student's account.
• Fees not included: Transportation to and from campus, meals off campus, shopping, spending money, and medical expenses. 

Commuters are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from campus. Parking permits are available to commuters for an additional fee.
