Assessment of Tuition and Fees

Students are required to submit a completed and signed Student Payment Agreement when they enter the School of Medicine. They will receive a copy of this form with their first bill. Initial registration will not be processed without this form or file. Tuition and fees are billed in two installments each academic year. Entering students are billed in June for the first term of their first year, with payment due July 15. Second, third and fourth year students are billed in July with payment due August 10. First, second and third year students are billed for the second term in December, with payment due January 10. In order to give fourth year students a tax advantage during their first year of residency, they are billed for the second term in January with payment due February 10. Bills are mailed on approximately the 20th of each month. A student receives a statement for any month during which there is activity on their account.

With the exception of the first bill to entering students, bills are sent to students at their Medical Center mailboxes. Students preferring to be billed at their parents' home address may make special arrangements by contacting the Bursar's Office and completing the Billing Address Change form. Likewise, students expecting to be out of town for an extended period may make arrangements for the mailing of their bill to a temporary address.

Since some of the fees assessed through the student billing system are for services not directly provided by the School (e.g., health insurance), students wishing their Title IV federal aid (Perkins and/or Federal Stafford loans) to be applied to these charges on their student accounts must authorize the Bursar to do so. To facilitate this process, a Student Authorization Statement for the Bursar's Office is sent to Title IV aid recipients with their Federal Stafford loan promissory notes.
