When you register, you assume responsibility for paying all tuition and fees associated with your enrollment/registration. You must pay even if you did not attend a single class unless you have dropped or resigned your courses according to the published deadlines. This applies to those who are withdrawing from the University or those who have fallen below full-time status.
Our MD program follows the liability deadlines listed below based on a standard fifteen (15) week course. The Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has many non-standard courses in the year one and two curriculum. Tuition liability is calculated proportionally based on the number of weeks in a class.
| For courses Dropped/Resigned | Tuition | Fees |
|---|---|---|
| By the end of the First Week of Classes | 0% | 0% |
| Second Week of Classes | 30% | 100% |
| Third Week of Classes | 50% | 100% |
| Fourth Week of Classes | 70% | 100% |
| After Fourth Week of Classes | 100% | 100% |
This information follows the Liability Deadlines posted on the UB Student Accounts website.
