UNSOM Students: Resources: Student Handbook: Tuition, Fees and Expenses
Registration for all medical students occurs twice a year through the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs. Registration and any additional fees are paid per semester. Students who will be out of town during the registration periods MUST make arrangements with the campus cashier for timely payment. Late payments will be assessed a fee. Due to the registration procedure, students may not receive a statement requesting payment. It is the student's responsibility to pay tuition and fees by the established deadline. Please call the cashier’s office at 775-784-6915 with questions regarding payment of tuition and fees.
