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.
