• Will the UCF M.D. Program accept applicants who are currently participating in upper-level degree programs such as Master’s, Ph.D. , or other professional-level degrees?
• Applicants who are currently accepted to a Ph.D. or other professional-level degrees are required to complete all degree requirements prior to matriculation to the M.D. Program. We highly encourage those accepted to a Master's degree program to complete that program prior to matriculation into the M.D. Program.

• Will student housing be available near the medical school?
• Neither UCF nor the College of Medicine plan to provide on-campus housing to M.D. Program students at the Health Sciences campus at Lake Nona. Dean German is working with community leadership to ensure that adequate housing at a fair price is available to the medical students in the Lake Nona vicinity. We do not know the time frame as to when housing in that area will become available, but there are several new apartment buildings that currently exist within a very easy drive from Lake Nona. Information about housing options will be provided to students at the time of their admission.

• Does the UCF M.D. Program plan to accept transfer students into their program?
• This program will not accept transfer applicants for the initial few years as we gradually increase our entering class to a maximum of 120 students. Once a transfer student policy is implemented, it would probably mirror typical programs in that transfer students would only be accepted into the 3rd year of the medical curriculum.

• Who do I contact if I have more questions regarding student financial services?
• Lisa Minnick, Assistant Director of Student Financial Services, at UCF College of Medicine. Call 407.266.1383 or email at medfinaid@ucf.edu

• How is financial aid disbursed?
• 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.

• When are payments due?
• 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.
