PROGRAMS TUITION AND FEES TUITION AND FEES Tuition for 2021–2022 will be posted online at nova.edu/pt/dpt/tuition_fees.html for Fort Lauderdale and nova.edu/pt/hedpt-tampa/tuition_fees.html for Tampa Bay. A Health Professions Division general access fee of $145 is required each year. An NSU student services fee of $1,500 is also required annually. All tuition and fees are subject to change by the board of trustees without notice. 1. Acceptance Fee—$500. 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 nonrefundable in the event of a with- drawal. The acceptance fee is due by January 15, if the applicant was accepted before January 1. Those accepted after January 1 will have two weeks after the acceptance letter is received to pay the acceptance fee. 2. Deposit—$500. The deposit is due by March 30 and is under the same terms as the acceptance fee. Accepted students are expected to notify the program immediately if they decline the acceptance or decide to withdraw from the program, in order to open seats for other qualified applicants. 3. The first semester’s tuition and fees, less the $1,000 previously paid, are due on or before the appropriate registration day. 4. Tuition for each subsequent semester is due on or before the appropriate registration day. Students will not be admitted until their financial obligations have been met. The finan- cial ability of applicants to complete their training is important because of the limited number of positions available in each class. Applicants should have specific plans for financing the entire professional program. 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 obtainable through the university. PROVISIONAL ACCEPTANCE Students are provisionally admitted to a degree-seeking program based on a review of unof- ficial transcripts or other specific program admission requirements. However, this admission includes a condition that final and official transcripts, documents, and requirements must be received within 90 calendar days from matriculation. If these final and official transcripts, documents, and/or requirements are not received by that time, the student will not be al- lowed to continue class attendance. Financial aid will not be disbursed to a provisional/con- ditional student until he or she has been fully admitted as a regular student (all admissions requirements have been approved by the college/program admissions office). Students who have an unpaid balance 30 days from the start of the term will be assessed a $100 late fee.
