Allied Health Comprehensive Charge

The allied health comprehensive charge is relevant to students who are admitted to the B.S.N or A.A.S. Physical Therapist Assistant programs. Its purpose is to cover various expenses like labs, simulations, testing, and clinical experiences, preventing any unexpected fees from the University throughout the program. The allied health comprehensive charge applies once a student is accepted to the program and begins the coursework required for the major, which is typically in the junior year.

FAQs

Even when pricing is simple, we expect you to have questions! You might find the answers you need below. If not, please feel free to reach out to our Office of Admissions if you’re a future Lion, or to Student Accounts if you’re a current student.
How many credit hours are included in the Comprehensive Charge?
The cost you see above is for unlimited hours*! For example, full-time undergraduate student tuition is $12,500 per semester no matter how many credit hours you take. In addition, the per-credit rates for part-time students and graduate students apply regardless of the number of hours taken.
What else is included in the Comprehensive Charge?
To add as much value for students as possible, starting 2023-24, we now include many services that used to be charged as separate fees—and added other services at no additional cost to students. In one comprehensive package, Lions can enjoy:

What is NOT included in the Comprehensive Charge?
We have made the Comprehensive Charge as truly comprehensive as possible to cover the academic needs of all students. Some costs vary too much to be included, however. The following charges are separate from the Comprehensive Charge:

  • Room charges increase above the standard room rate if you select a private room or privileged housing. Learn more about student facilities.
  • Board (meals) isn’t included in the Comprehensive Charge. You’ll need to select the meal plan that’s right for you.
  • Books generally cost $300-500 per semester. This cost is also not included.
  • Travel costs to Belgium, NYC, VA Shakespeare, or other travel courses are also not included.
If I was awarded a scholarship based on a percentage of tuition at rates set before the 2023-24 academic year, how will the amount be calculated?
Scholarship awards based on a percentage of tuition will be honored with the amount that would have equaled tuition if no billing changes had occurred. If you have any additional questions about this, please contact our Office of Financial Aid.
What are my options for making payments?
You can either make payments in full for each semester in advance by the due dates below or set up a monthly payment plan through Nelnet.

1. Cash Payment – All semester charges, less any financial aid, are due before you can begin classes. Payments can be made with a check, cash, or credit card by the following dates:

  • Fall Semester (including August short course), August 5
  • Spring Semester (including January short course), January 6
  • Summer Semester, May 16

2. Nelnet – An interest-free monthly payment plan is available to students and parents. Payments are spread out over 8-10 months.
