Registration Requirements

Continuing students upon approval of the Doctoral Progression Committee are required to register for courses each
session by the scheduled registration deadline. A late fee of $100.00 will be charged to those students who do not
register by the posted registration deadline.

Malpractice Insurance

Malpractice insurance coverage is maintained by the Doctoral candidate.

Limitation of Cost

The University makes every effort to avoid increases or to hold costs to a necessary minimum. However, circumstances may call for a change in charges assessed.

Normally, tuition and fee changes are announced at least one full term before becoming effective. Since the economy does not stay constant and since taxes and operating costs increase rather than decrease, the University reserves the right to change tuition and fees when necessary.

Tuition Payment Policy

Full payment of tuition and fees is due by the registration deadline. Payments may be made in cash, check, or credit card (Master Card or Visa only). A quarterly or session payment plan is offered. Payment can be made in 2 or 3 monthly installments. All monies owed for any reason must be paid in full before registering for a subsequent quarter, unless other arrangements have been made with the Business Office. Please contact the Business Office for specific details.

Financial Assistance

Currently, there are no Title IV funds available for the Doctoral program. Private lenders such as Sallie May often provide loans for education purposes. In addition, Samra University of Oriental Medicine has limited Financial Assistance at this time. Some scholarships and grants may be available. Check with the Financial Aid Office regarding eligibility rules.

Tuition Refund Policies of the University

Tuition refunds will be made consistent with applicable state and federal requirements. Students wishing to cancel their enrollment must notify the Registrar of their intention in writing. The effective date of cancellation is the date the notice is postmarked or handed to the Registrar or authorized University administrative officer.

An enrollee may cancel enrollment prior to or on the first day of class in any given session and receive a full refund of all tuition and refundable fees paid toward that session.

Students wishing to withdraw from individual classes after the beginning of classes must complete an Add/Drop Form. The form may be mailed or handed to the Registrar. With regard to fees and refunds, the postmark is the official date of notification for mailed documents.

There are no refunds for needles, herbs, books or other supplies. Tuition refund policies also apply to any student who may be terminated from the program by the administration.

The tuition for any given course or special session is based on the pro-rata percentage of course hours conducted by the University prior to official cancellation of enrollment until fifty per cent of the course has been conducted.

Up to 10%	90%
