Accepted applicants to the PA Program submit a $1,500, non-refundable deposit which is applied to the student’s tuition bill. This deposit indicates their acceptance of admission and intention to enroll in the Bryant University PA Program.

Check Payment
International Wire Payments
Domestic Wire Payments
Contact the Bursar’s Office for assistance.
Late Payment Penalty
A late fee of $150 will be assessed to the student's account with an outstanding balance if payment is not made by the term due dates. A registration and transcript hold will also be placed on the account and students will not be allowed to register for the following semester until their balance is resolved.
Further, in the event that a student does not pay his/her tuition fees, and the University finds it necessary to send the unpaid fees to a collection agency for collection, the student will be responsible to pay any reasonable collection fees and/or legal fees associated with said collection of the amount owed to Bryant University.
Tuition Refunds
The Bryant University Bursar will manage all refunds of tuition. Fees are not refundable.
A student withdrawing from Bryant University must contact the PA Program Director and complete a voluntary withdrawal form in the Registrar's Office in order for his/her withdrawal to be official.
Tuition refunds will be calculated as follows
Refund Policy | |
Week/Day | Percentage |
1st week of classes | 80% |
2nd week of classes | 60% |
3rd week of classes | 40% |
4th week of classes | 20% |
After 4th week of classes | No refund |
Remedial and Repetitive Work
The total cost of program tuition is divided equally amongst the 9 terms that a student must complete. Each term has a unique credit hour based on the class and the term.
Term 1 | Term 2 | Term 3 | Term 4 | Term 5-9 | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
14 credits - 1/9 Tuition | 19 credits - 1/9 Tuition | 22 credits - 1/9 Tuition | 23 credits - 1/9 Tuition | 48 credits (8-12 credits per clinical term) - 5/9 Tuition | 126 credits |
Repeated clinical rotations are credit bearing and students shall be charged tuition based on a per-credit cost of clinical term tuition (1/48th of 5/9 total program tuition) for the term for which they are registered. Each clinical rotation is 4 credits.
Repeated Clinical Rotation Scenario:
A situation in which a student must repeat a clinical that they have failed. This would add an extra term to the student's program. For each clinical rotation that is repeated, tuition will be charged as the per-credit cost of the 4-credit clinical, or 4/48 of 5/9 total program tuition. Students may repeat a maximum of one clinical rotation.
Living Expenses, Travel and Transportation
Students are responsible for arranging their own housing accommodations, transportation, and any expenses associated with travel and relocations occurring as a requirement of the program. During the clinical phase most time will be spent at Supervised Clinical Practice Experiences. The greater majority of these rotations will occur at healthcare facilities within 50 miles of the program; however, students must be prepared to travel to sites outside of this radius.
Insurance
Students are required to have Bryant University issued health insurance while in the PA program. Liability insurance is mandatory and is purchased through Bryant University. Please see the student fees section for more information on the cost of the student health insurance.
Financial Aid
The Bryant University Office of Financial Aid will coordinate financial aid for any student requiring student loans.
In order to be eligible for financial aid, a student must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This document is used to determine eligibility for federal and institutional aid.
After completing the application, students are encouraged to contact the Bryant University Office of Financial Aid and speak with a Financial Aid Counselor.

Financing Options
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program
Graduate students enrolled in a degree program on at least a half-time basis (6 credits) may be eligible to borrow through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Students must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the web site. Upon receiving confirmation of eligibility from the financial aid office, student borrowers will need to complete on-line Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN) on the federal web site.
Federal Grad PLUS
In addition to the Federal Direct Loan Program, eligible graduate students may also borrow through the Federal Grad PLUS Program. This may be particularly useful to graduate students in need of additional funding beyond the Federal Direct Loan's annual maximum of $20,500. The application, entrance counseling and Master Promissory Note must be completed.
Privately Funded Education Loans
A number of privately funded education loans are available to graduate students through non-profit lenders (generally one per state), as well as some of the larger for-profit lending firms. Further details are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
Veterans Administration Educational Benefits
There are many education assistance programs available to eligible veterans and their dependents. Interested students are encouraged to contact Veterans Affairs at (800) 827-1000 or visit their website at www.vba.va.gov. There is a Veterans Administration Coordinator located in the Undergraduate Advising Office.
Private Scholarships
In addition to information readily available through routine web searching, the Office of Financial Aid maintains an up-to-date online listing of scholarship notices from a number of foundations and organizations promoting their programs. These can be viewed by registered Bryant students in the financial aid section of the University's secure Banner Self-Service SSO portal.
