Student Fee Adjustment Policies
Once billed, there is no adjustment in fees charged except in the following instances:
- Students who pay tuition for more than four years may request a waiver of the Infection Control fee in subsequent years.
- All students will be charged these fees without exception, including students completing internships or coursework away from campus.
- On occasion, it may be necessary to charge a new fee as a result of a change in the curriculum or the list of required instruments. Likewise, occasionally adjustments to the standard fees may be necessary. In such cases, every effort will be made to inform the students.
