Charges for Clinical Remediation and Repeated Clinical Term Rotation(s)
Currently, the total cost of tuition is divided equally among-st the 9 terms that a student must complete. Each term has a unique credit hour based on the class and the term.
Term 1: 14 credits 1/9 Tuition
Term 2: 19 credits 1/9 Tuition
Term 3: 22 credits 1/9 Tuition
Term 4: 23 credits 1/9 Tuition
Terms 5-9 48 credits (8-12 credits per clinical term) 5/9 Tuition
Total: 126 credits
Clinical remediation is non-credit bearing for which fees are charged. Repeated clinical rotations are credit bearing and students shall be charged tuition based on per-credit cost of clinical term tuition (1/48th of 5/9 total program tuition) for the term for which they are registered. Each clinical rotation is 4 credits.
Clinical Remediation Scenario: A student must do remedial work prior to beginning the 12-week clinical cycle in order to improve their GPA and be ready for the clinical cycle.
Remedial Term Charges: Students having to do such remedial work will be charged $2500 which represents a Remedial Instruction Fee of $2000 and a Library and Computer Access Fee of $500. The remedial work is non-credit bearing and will delay the start of clinical rotations by one term.
Extra Clinical Term Charges: They then will be required to take 2 clinical rotations in an extra term at the end of their program to complete all degree requirements. The tuition charge for this extra term would be the per-credit cost of two 4-credit clinical rotations, or 8/48 or 5/9 total program tuition.
Repeated Clinical Rotation Scenario: A student must repeat a clinical that they have failed. This would add an extra term to the student’s program. For each clinical rotation that is repeated, tuition will be charged at the per-credit cost of the 4-credit clinical, or 4/48 of 5/9 total program tuition. Students may repeat a maximum of two clinical rotations for a maximum additional charge of 8/48 of 5/9 total program tuition.
