To be eligible to participate in the MET program, a MET contract must have been previously purchased from the State of Michigan on the student's behalf. When a MET contract is purchased, credit hours are purchased - not dollars. All billings sent to MET are based on credit hours. MET will pay the tuition and miscellaneous fee charges associated with the credit hours billed on the student's behalf. For incoming students (freshmen and transfer students), MET will also cover the amount of the actual charge for the student's orientation session. MET will not cover any housing charges associated with the dorm stay during orientation. MET also does not cover any charges for lab or course fees that may be charged in connection to a class the student may enroll in.

When a student is ready to utilize their MET contract, the student must contact MET to activate the contract. MET must also be notified of the college the student is attending.

Students must notify MET of their intent to attend the U-M prior to the beginning of their first term of attendance.

Students are not required to notify U-M that they are covered under a MET contract. Each term MET will send a list to Student Financial Services of those students who have notified MET of their intention to attend the U-M.

For questions concerning charges and credit hours billed to MET by U-M, please contact our office.

If you have additional questions concerning the MET contract, please see the contract packet provided by MET or by visiting MET's web site. You may also contact MET directly by calling 1.800.MET.4KID (1.800.638.4543).
