Health InsuranceMedical students must enroll in UNE's Student Medical Insurance Plan unless they can demonstrate proof of comparable medical insurance. Refer to the insurance brochure and website for instructions and rates. Students are required to maintain health insurance coverage throughout their tenure at UNECOM. Students electing to enroll in comparable plans should be careful to ascertain their coverage for hazards inherent to physicians, such as hazards associated with needle sticks or blood-borne pathogens.

The first ten requests for letters shall be free of charge. All additional requests shall be assessed a $3 fee.
Parking FeesStudents wishing to park a vehicle on campus must purchase a parking permit from the Student Accounts Office at a cost of $60. Failure to register a vehicle will result in a fine.
Special Examination FeeAll students are required to take Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) part I, part II CE, and part II PE. All fees are determined by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) and are paid directly to the Board.
Special Student TuitionUNE undergraduate students are permitted to enroll in UNECOM courses as non-matriculating students on a space available basis. Tuition will be $825 per credit hour. Students who later become UNECOM matriculated students will pay the full-time rate.

Payment ScheduleFall and spring tuition and fees are due the first day of classes.
Late Payment ChargeThe balance due each semester will be considered overdue if not paid by the specified date, and any unpaid balance will be subject to a late charge of 12% per annum or 1% per month. Students with unpaid bills will not be placed on the official school roster nor can they attend classes until they have received clearance from the Business Office. Students with overdue account are not eligible for academic credit, transcripts, or degrees.

Refund PoliciesOverpayments - The University will refund overpayments to students with Title IV Financial Aid in accordance with Federal regulations. Students may elect to have their overpayment directly deposited into a checking or savings account.Note: It is customary for medical students to borrow from several sources or to sign agreements with third-party payers such as the Armed Forces, state or federal governments to cover their educational costs as well as living expenses. The University realizes that payments are not always received in a timely fashion because of delays at the bank or governmental agencies. In the event a student's loan proceeds are not received by the start of classes and the student does not have adequate resources for living expenses, a petition for exception to our refund policy can be submitted. This petition will need to be evaluated by the Office of Financial Aid, and must clearly demonstrate financial hardship. The University will refund up to one month of living expenses, as determined by the Financial Aid Office, in anticipation of student loan and/or government checks.
Withdrawal RefundA student who intends to withdraw from the University will be required to go through the withdrawal process. He/she must first see the UNECOM academic dean to obtain the necessary forms. Verbal notice is not sufficient. For purposes of computing refunds, the date of withdrawal recorded by the dean after receipt of withdrawal forms will be used by the Business Office to compute any refund due the student.Refunds will not be permitted for withdrawals during summer remedial courses.

Refunds will not be made in the case of absence, suspension or dismissal.Adjustments to students’ financial aid awards will be made according to federal refund policies as well as specific program policies. Students who withdraw during their first semester at the University and received federal financial aid, may be entitled to a refund under the federal rules labeled “pro-rata.” Students who receive federal Title IV financial aid may be entitled to a refund under the federal refund policy. The federal refund policy allows students a refund based on the percentage of time they were in attendance up to the 50% point within the semester. Details are available in the Financial Aid Office.Leave of Absence Tuition CreditIn the event a student desires to apply for a leave of absence, a Leave Form must be submitted to the Academic Dean's Office. The form will include the reason for leaving, as well as the expected date of return. An approved leave of absence during the on-campus portion of the curriculum will result in a refund per the Withdrawal Tuition Refund Policy. No penalty is assessed for a leave of absence during the Clerkship Training Curriculum. A student in the military reserves will be granted a full leave of absence tuition credit should the student be called to active duty while attending courses during any given semester.
Notes
Students should expect annual increases in the cost of attending UNECOM since the University is subject to the same inflationary pressures that affect the rest of society.
UNE will continue to make every effort to contain costs from the date they are announced through the current academic year. The Board of Trustees, however, reserve the right to make changes in tuition and fees at any time.
For their own protection while at the University, it is recommended that students carry their own local checking accounts to provide funds for incidental expenses and emergencies. The University recommends that students open a checking account with TD BankNorth, who have installed a full-service ATM machine on campus. Checks may also be cashed daily at the Student Accounts Office and Bookstore ($75 maximum).
The University will not be responsible for the loss of property on or off campus although it strives to safeguard students’ property on campus.
Textbooks usually cost about $600 per semester. Students are expected to pay for those books at the beginning of the semester. Books, supplies, and other items available at the University Bookstore may be paid for with cash, check, MasterCard, VISA, and Discover credit cards. NOTE: First-year textbook costs are considerably higher.
The University offers direct deposit to its students. Students with credit balances can have the excess funds directly deposited in the bank of their choice. The sign-up form is available here.

The University of New England's Physical Therapy Program at the Westbrook College Campus in Portland, Maine, began enrolling students in its new Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum in fall 2004.Physical therapy education is in a rapid state of transition. Although entry into the profession today requires a master's degree, the vision statement of the American Physical Therapy Association states that by the year 2020, "physical therapy will be provided by physical therapists who are Doctors of Physical Therapy…." Most of the physical therapist education programs in the country have completed or are in the process of preparing for the transition to the DPT entry-level degree.
