Due Date: 11:59 pm on March 28th, 2024
Fees
Students who are accepted into the Diabetes, Gender and Sexuality Health Justice, and Oncology, concentrations will pay an additional fee, split over two or three terms depending on when the concentration begins. Students who begin a concentration will pay an additional $9,876 (of which $4,938 will be due per term over two terms, or $3,292 due over three terms).
If, at the end of the first term, a student elects to drop a concentration, the student will not need to pay the next term’s concentration fee, but the fee will not be refunded.
If you are a specialty director for a concentration that requires Spring 2024 course enrollment, and therefore the concentration fee needs to be on the student’s spring bill, my office will need all approved students names no later than Friday October 27th. This allows us to make sure the student’s spring bill is reflected appropriately.
