Tuition Payment Certification

Once your student account has been paid in full for a term, Student Financial Operations, upon request, will issue a Tuition Payment Certification letter to certify that your student account has been paid in full for the term. The letter will include the following information:

  • The amount of tuition paid.
  • The amount of miscellaneous fees paid.
  •  The amount of health insurance paid.
  • The method(s) of payment (student payment, loan, GSA tuition waiver, etc.).
  • Please note: Payment of monthly rent charges (or charges covered under a lease with the UM Housing Office) must be certified by the Housing Office rather than our office.

Our office also will certify tuition and fee payments for the Canadian government utilizing the necessary Canadian forms. When requesting a Tuition Payment Certification letter, please be sure to specify that you require a Canadian Certification. You may request a Tuition Payment Certification letter in person, in writing, by phone, by fax, or by email. When requesting your letter, please be sure to include the term you wish the letter to be prepared for along with a contact phone number and email address. You may pick up your certification letter(s) at our office or the letter(s) may be mailed or faxed. Please be sure to indicate in your request whether you wish to pick up the letter(s) or whether you would like the letter(s) mailed/faxed (and include an address for mailing/fax number). You should allow at least two weeks for preparation of your letter(s). With an authorization letter from you, an authorized person can pick up the certification letter for you. Please Note: If you are requesting a certification of tuition and fees for more than one academic year, your request must be made in writing.
