Tuition and Fees


The Board of Trustees has established the following tuition and fees which are subject to change at any time at the Board's discretion.

  1. Tuition - $18,885 for Florida residents and $24,050 for out- of-the-state students for the 2007-2008 academic year. A Health Professions Division general access fee of $145 is required each year. An NSU student services fee of $750 is also required annually.

  2. Acceptance Fee - $250. This fee is required to reserve the accepted applicant's place in the entering first-year class. This advance payment will be deducted from the tuition payment due on Registration Day, but is not refundable in case of a withdrawal. It is payable within two weeks of an applicant's acceptance.

  3. Deposit - $750. This is due April 15, under the same terms as the Acceptance Fee.

  4. College Laboratory/Equipment Fee - $50. This will be assessed per academic year.

The first semester's tuition and fees, less the $1,000 previously paid, are due on or before the initial registration period. Tuition for each subsequent semester is due at the time of registration. Students will not be admitted until their financial obligations have been completed.

The financial ability of applicants to complete their training at the College is important because of the limited number of positions available in each class. Applicants should have specific plans for financing four years of professional education. This should include tuition, living expenses, books, equipment, and miscellaneous expenses.

It is required that each student carry adequate personal medical and hospital insurance. Students may avail themselves of the hospitalization insurance plan obtained through the University.

Students may be issued a personal identification number (PIN) once they have applied for financial aid and/or been accepted to the program. It is imperative that you retain and protect your PIN, as it is used for access to your personal student information.
