The Student Life Fee provides for essential services such as the Evening Shuttle, the Joseph Meyerhoff Center for Career Development including individual counseling appointments and professional development workshops, and Student Programming and Activities. The fee makes numerous student life activities possible for both undergraduate and graduate students by funding clubs, student leadership events and annual campus wide activities. The Student Life Fee also provides routine examinations by medical staff at the Health Services Center and limited student visits to the MICA Counseling Center.

A $250 Housing Damage Deposit will be charged at the beginning of the student's first semester residing on campus. Once the student leaves campus housing or graduates, a refund may be requested from Residence Life and Off-Campus Housing, minus any adjustments for room damages or lost keys.
