2009-10 COST OF ATTENDANCE   

The Cost of Attendance reflects the average, estimated expenses to attend medical school at WSU for one year.  Costs cannot be added for expenses incurred by a family member other than the student unless they are necessary daycare costs.  See “Exceptions to Cost of Attendance” below. 

Tuition and Fee Charges:  Tuition and omnibus fees are charged on a per-credit-hour basis (this was effective with the 2008-09 academic year.)  Full time = 24 to 50 credits, Half Time = 12 to 23 credits.  The initial Cost of Attendance for full time students will assume 50 credit hours; the initial Cost of Attendance for modified students will assume 23 credits.  Adjustments to reflect actual credits will be made after registration.    

Health Insurance Coverage:
Health insurance is mandatory and enrollment forms or proof of coverage must be submitted at time of registration.  Health insurance premiums will be added on an individual basis to the Cost of Attendance.  

The total amount of a student’s financial aid award cannot exceed the Cost of Attendance.

Exceptions to Cost of Attendance:
Necessary expenses such as daycare costs, emergency car repairs, medical/dental bills not covered by insurance, and the one-time purchase of a computer, may be added to the Cost of Attendance if incurred during the academic year.  Students must request consideration for a Cost of Attendance increase by submitting a written request and supporting documentation of paid expenses to the Office of Student Financial Aid.  Please go to our “Forms” page to download a “Cost of Attendance Increase Request” form.

* Reflects 2009-10 estimated per credit hour tuition and fee rates.  Rates are approved and subject to revision by the Wayne State University Board of Governors.  Initial financial aid awards are based on estimated rates.  Adjustments to these rates can impact the Cost of Attendance and result in adjustments to financial aid awards and disbursement amounts.
