February/March receive UM summer housing & meals contract with assigned Resident Hall and final room and board pricing.

By March or earlier, select and schedule outdoor recreation and on-campus activities for the best availability.

14 business days from the program start date, turn in complete and final participant list information in the required format. Changes cannot be accommodated after the list is submitted and you will be charged for all overnight rooms and meals on the list.

You will receive an invoice about 2 weeks following the end of the program. Payment is due in full within 30 days of invoice.
