Registrar Office

University of Michigan Medical School students' debt ranks among the lower third of all medical school graduates. Our graduating class of 2023 had an average medical school-only debt load upon graduation of $161,267, approximately $30,000 below the national average. (Sources: UMMS; AAMC)

Our low average debt reflects the Medical School’s commitment to keep tuition increases to a minimum and to maintain our high level of scholarship support.

Qualifying for In-State Tuition

U-M’s Office of the Registrar has developed guidelines for qualifying for in-state tuition.

We recommend that if you’re applying for in-state tuition, you submit your application at least three months before the term in which you plan to enroll at U-M.
