Student Health Insurance:
All matriculated students must be covered by a current health
insurance plan. The University will provide information about its
student health insurance plan for students who are not covered under
another plan. Students who do not purchase the university insurance
must provide proof of enrollment in a comparable plan each semester.
Books:
Cost for books, supplies and uniforms for Traditional undergraduate
students is approximately $400 per term. These costs are based on
averages and may vary.
Supplies
Undergraduate students must purchase a number of supplies including
uniforms and a stethoscope. Students enrolled in nurse practitioner
programs should expect to purchase some diagnostic equipment during
the first year.

Rates are determined on an apartment-by-apartment basis.
Late Registration:
A student who for any reason does not complete his or her
registration until after the prescribed registration period will be
required to pay a late registration service fee before that
registration may be finalized by the registrar. Information about
what constitutes late registration and the applicable fee will be
included in registration materials which are distributed by the
Registrar's Office.
Late Fees:
The University assesses a 1.50% per month
late fee charge on the unpaid balance for any student whose account

semester will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters.
Fees associated with delinquent accounts sent to collections will be
passed on to the student.
Transcript/Diplomas:
There is no charge for transcripts. No transcript will be released
if the student has an unpaid account balance. Diplomas will not be
