#: ''Unfortunately, mandatory fees (between $4-600 a semester) cannot be covered as part of tuition remission. These fees do provide services: for example, by paying them you are allowed to use ShuttleUM and the gym for free. However, it is important to remember that you will have to cover these yourself and budget accordingly. The Terrapin Payment Plan offers a way to pay fees gradually throughout the semester. This will allow you to pay your student fees gradually over the semester rather than in one (expensive) sum right now. You can enroll in the program and get more information here: [http://www.bursar.umd.edu/TPP.php]''
