Transferability of Credits: Students who attend Millennia Atlantic University and plan to transfer credits earned at MAU to another school should contact the institution to which the student seeks transfer before enrolling in order to determine if credits will be accepted. The granting of transfer credit is within the sole discretion of the receiving institution.It is the policy of this institution to accept transfer credits for up to 50% of the requirements for graduation from any program. To obtain a degree, however, there are a certain number of final credit hours that must be completed at Millennia Atlantic University depending on the degree sought. Please see the program information for the specific level of degree offering for further detail on this requirement. Students must submit official transcripts for work completed at another institution in order for the credit to be considered for transfer. The receipt of credit for courses is reserved for those students who have successfully completed courses at another institution that are comparable in content, quality and scope to those offered at the University. Undergraduate students seeking to transfer credits from an associate’s degree awarded at another institution towards one of the University’s bachelor degree programs must have completed a minimum of fifteen (15) semester credit hours or the equivalent in general education, with a minimum 2.00 CGPA. The University may, in its discretion, require that transfer credit be validated by testing demonstrating the skills and knowledge possessed by the student.
II. Financial Information
- Tuition and Fees: The estimated total cost of tuition for undergraduate and graduate programs is based on an average course load of 12 credit hours for undergraduate students and 9 credit hours for graduate students per semester. Therefore, the total cost of tuition is dependent on the total semester hours completed each semester.
- Net Price Calculator: The U.S. Department of Education developed a “net price calculator” to help current and prospective students, families, and other consumers estimate the individual net price of an institution of higher education for a student. The calculator enables current and prospective students, families, and consumers to determine an estimate of a current or prospective student’s individual net price at a particular institution.
- Cost of Attendance: An institution’s cost of attendance (COA) is the total direct and indirect costs of a year of college. The cost of attendance may also be called the student budget or the sticker price. Direct costs are costs that are paid directly to the college, such as tuition and fees.
- Financial Aid: Financial aid is available for those who qualify. For any other inquiries on available options and how to apply, please contact our Financial Aid Manager +1 786-331-1000, ext. 202, or via email at finaid@maufl.edu

Repaying Student Loans: In the case of loans, including federal financial aid loans, keep in mind that whatever amount you borrow must be paid back with interest. While loans are a good investment in your future, taking out a student loan is a serious obligation. All loans have a six (6) month grace period before you have to begin repayment. You are only entitled to ONE grace period after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half time, so it is important to remember that the loans must be repaid; and that all changes of address, schools and any financial status must be reposted to your loan servicer.
Your loan servicer will provide information about repayment and will notify you of the date loan repayment begin. It is very important that you make your arranged loan payment on time every month following your repayment schedule. If you don't, you could end up in default, which has very serious consequences. Student loans are real loans — like car loans or mortgages. You have to pay back your student loans.In order to keep up to date on your loan information, the U.S. Department of Education's National Student Loan Data Systems’ (NSLDS) provides information on your federal loans including loan types, disbursed amounts, outstanding principal and interest, and the total amount of all your loans. To access the NSLDS website, please use the link provided in the MAU’s website under the Financial Services tab or go to https://studentaid.gov/. If you are not sure who your loan servicer is, you can look it up on https://nsldsfap.ed.gov/login or call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243; TTY 1-800-730-8913).You have a choice of several repayment plans that are designed to meet different needs. The amount you pay and the length of time to repay your loans will vary depending on the repayment plan you choose. If you find yourself having difficulties making the payments on your loans, contact your loan servicer as soon as possible. Your servicer will work with you to determine the best option for you. Options include: changing repayment plans, requesting a forbearance (if you meet certain requirements, a forbearance allows you to temporarily stop making payments on your loan). If you don't meet the eligibility requirements for a deferment but are temporarily unable to make your loan payments, then (in very limited circumstances) a forbearance allows you to temporarily stop making payments on your loan, however the interest assigned to your loan will continue to accrue in a monthly basis.If you stop making payments and do not obtain a deferment or forbearance, your loan could go into default, which has serious negative consequences. If you default, it means you failed to make payments on your student loan according to the terms of your promissory note, which is a binding legal document you sign at the time you take out your loan. In other words, you have failed to make your loan payments as scheduled. The University, the financial institution that made or owns your loan, your loan guarantor, and the federal government all can take action to recover the money you owe. Here are some consequences of default:
- National credit bureaus will be notified of your default, which will harm your credit rating, making it hard to buy a car, a house or apply for credit cards.
- You will be ineligible for additional federal student aid if you decide to return to school.
- State and federal income tax refunds will be withheld and applied toward the amount you owe.
- You will have to pay late fees and collection fees on top of what you already owe.
