Full-Time Student Status & Enrollment Policy

Medical student enrollment status is always classified as full-time; the School of Medicine does not offer part-time status.

• Term fees (semester or summer session) are flat amounts assessed to all full-time students based on enrollment status (undergraduate, graduate, professional) and program, not on enrolled units. Costs for housing, books, materials, etc. are not included.
• Enrollment is contingent upon payment of registration fees; courses may not be attended without the payment of registration fees.
• Going on leave of absence or withdrawing may carry financial aid implications. To learn more, please contact the DGSOM Financial Aid and Scholarships.

  • Students in the HEALS curriculum must be enrolled in a minimum of 8 semesters (typically 4 fall and 4 spring semesters) and 3 summer terms (at the end of Years 1, 2 and 3).
