TUITION AND FEES

Tuition and Fees

The amount of tuition and fees for all medical students is subject to change from year to year as established by the Florida State legislature and the USF Board of Trustees. Specific fee information can be obtained after July 1 of each year by contacting the USF Health Office of the Registrar.

The Florida State legislature established procedures for charging tuition and fees to medical and professional students attending State University System schools on a flat yearly rate basis, regardless of length of time enrolled. Students are billed at the beginning of each academic year by the Registrar’s Office. Each of the four academic years is divided into two installments of the yearly tuition. The assessed amount is due no later than the end of the first week of classes each term.

Students who pay tuition after the due date will be assessed a late fee of $100 unless they have made proper arrangements for a late payment. Applications for a “Late Fee Waiver” may be obtained from the MCOM Office of Student Affairs or the USF Health Office of Financial Aid and must be filed prior to the payment deadline. For more information on tuition payments, please navigate to the Registrar's website.

Refunds

Students who withdraw, transfer, take a leave of absence exceeding 120 days, or who are dismissed from MCOM before completion of 80% of the academic year may be granted a prorated refund of tuition paid. Refunds will not be given to students who are enrolled for more than 80% of the academic year. A written request for a refund of tuition must be submitted to the USF Health Office of the Registrar to initiate the refund process.

For students who receive financial aid, a share of the institutional refund will be returned directly to the financial aid programs from which the student received assistance in accordance with applicable laws and the college’s Financial Aid Standard on Refunds and Repayments.

A student may be granted a refund of up to 100% tuition paid if he/she withdraws due to circumstances determined by MCOM to be exceptional and beyond the control of the student. These circumstances include:

· Illness of the student of such severity or duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician, to preclude completion of the courses

· Death of the student or death in the immediate family (parent, spouse, child or sibling)

· Involuntary call to active military duty

· A situation in which the university is in error as confirmed in writing by an appropriate university official

· Other documented exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the student which preclude completion of the courses, accompanied by a letter of explanation and appropriate documentation
