Office of Student Financial Services must verify enrollment in the M.D. program before disbursing aid. Please allow two to three weeks after the first day of class. Financial aid will be divided up into two equal payments to match the division of billed expenses. The first disbursement will occur in August/September and the second will occur in the January/February time frame.

The annual costs will be divided into two equal payments. One-half of the balance will be due on the Friday of the second week of classes in August for M1s and M2s, and the Friday of the second week of classes in May/June for the M3s and M4s.  The other half will be due on the Friday of the second week of classes in January for all students. Students with financial aid will only be responsible for the balance after subtracting the anticipated financial aid.

1. File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1 of the year you plan to attend. Example: If entering August 2012, file 2012-2013 FAFSA after January 1, 2012. Please use the Title IV code 003954.
