All matriculated students must be covered by a current health insurance

who do not purchase the University insurance must provide proof of
enrollment in a comparable plan each semester.
Books:
The cost for books, supplies and uniforms for baccalaureate students is
approximately $750 per term. These costs are based on averages and may vary.

Baccalaureate students must purchase a number of supplies including
uniforms; a stethoscope; and an aneroid, adult-size blood pressure cuff.
Students enrolled in nurse practitioner options should expect to purchase
some diagnostic equipment during the first year.
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 $50
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 is in arrears. Students who have
unpaid balances from a previous 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 student account balance. Diplomas will not be released
to students with unpaid student account balances.
