*Tuition and fees are subject to change.
The tuition for in-state and out-of-state residents is the same.
*Acceptance fee is non-refundable and upon acceptance is applied toward the student’s tuition. If a student decides not to attend after accepting, the fee will not be refunded.
All students are required to have a personal computer with wireless internet access and a Personal Digital Assistant which meet the University specifications. Purchase of these items is not recommended prior to acceptance into the program because of these very specific requirements. Laptop computers are recommended for use in the multimedia classroom. PDAs are required during Applied Learning Experiences and Clinical Rotations to track patient encounters and clinical procedures.

Circumstances which prevent a student from adhering to these dates should be discussed with the financial aid office.

Bill may discuss payment of school fees with the Director of Financial Aid. Failure to make proper payments, unless otherwise cleared with the financial aid office, will result in dismissal from the university. Grades will not be issued, degrees granted, or academic transcripts furnished until all financial obligations have been satisfied and all university property returned.
