Important information! READ BEFORE APPLYING

[bjcheung77]

Note: Please also make sure you 'pay' for your enrollment at least a few days to a week in advance to insure you don't fall through the cracks.  Enrollment starts when you've paid, you're confirmed for enrollment if you fill all forms and the intention to enroll forms... There's a slight difference between the two, you're confirmed for enrollment vs you're enrolled by paying the enrollment fee. You have to pay to be fully enrolled, otherwise, you're bumped to the next session... I mentioned in another thread to make sure to get everything done at least a couple of weeks ahead of time, don't wait until the last few days.

Hi everyone,

Regarding to the payment (additionally to the previous message) - I want to share a heads-up about payment processing times, especially for fellow international students. Even when using "instant" payment options, the funds can take longer than expected to reach UMPI.

In my experience, I used UMPI's official Transfermate service (with Trustly for "instant" transfer). Despite paying a premium for faster processing, it still took over a week for the payment to reach UMPI (after Transfermate message that "the payment has been completed successfully"). On top of that, I received a message stating that the payment is still "subject to approval and final verification."

Just wanted to share this so others can plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute stress regarding payments.
