Financial Information

Students will be billed approximately two months prior to the beginning of each new semester. Invoices are emailed to the student’s school email address.

All students are responsible for payment of tuition and fees by personal check, bank check, money order, or wire one month prior to matriculation into each new semester, whether in the Basic Science or Clinical Medicine program.

All students entering the first semester must pay tuition 45 days prior to matriculation.

If payment is made by check, the canceled check will serve as the student’s receipt. If a student remits a payment check that is returned because of insufficient funds, he or she must make any future payments to the University in the form of a U.S. bank check or money order. Payment of all tuition and fees is due in full by the due date specified on the student bill. A returned check fee of $35 will be imposed for a personal check returned that was not honored.

Payments for a student’s semester bill should be directed to the Bursar’s Office. If a bill is not received, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the Finance Office.

Please mail your check or money order in U.S. funds, made payable to Medical University of the Americas:

Medical University of the Americas
C/O R3 Education Inc.
27 Jackson Road, Suite 302
Devens, Massachusetts 01434, United States

MUA also accepts payments via wire transfer. Contact Student Accounts at studentaccounts@mua.edu to request the banking instructions. Students can also pay by credit card via their student portal.

All fees for the Clinical Medicine Program must be paid prior to graduation. A student whose account has not been paid in full or otherwise cleared by the Finance Office will be subject to cancellation of class enrollment.

MUA reserves the right to withhold all diplomas, degrees, official transcripts, and any other documentation from any student with outstanding financial obligations.

Students will be assessed a late fee of $200 for tuition not paid on or before the tuition due date. Tuition not received prior to the start of each semester will result in the cancellation of classes.

(Rates are subject to change without notice.)

Courses that are repeated because they were dropped or failed in a previous semester will be assessed a tuition fee on the basis of credit hours.

Tuition and fees shall be refunded in full—less an administrative fee of U.S. $100 and, if applicable, the U.S. $500 seat deposit and the U.S. $500 deferment fee—if notice of withdrawal is received prior to the first day of the semester.

Before any refund can be initiated, a withdrawal form must be completed and submitted to the Dean of Basic Sciences.

Tuition will be refunded according to the following schedule:

• Prior to the first day of the semester: 100%
• During the first 5 class day period: 93%
• During the second 5 class day period: 87%
• During the third 5 class day period: 80%
• After the third 5 class day period: No refund

All refunds will be made within 30 days of the withdrawal date.

No fee or tuition paid by or owed by a student for the semester in which the student is separated from the university for disciplinary reasons shall be refunded or forgiven. If the student is readmitted before the close of the semester in which the disciplinary action is imposed, no additional tuition or fees shall be required of the student during that semester.

Students are required to carry health insurance coverage for the duration of their medical school program. Proof of coverage is necessary upon matriculation and is required by hospitals prior to students beginning a clinical rotation. Information on individual and group policies is included in the student’s acceptance packet or may be requested from the Admissions Office.

Medical University of the Americas provides a mandatory Emergency Medical Evacuation and Repatriation insurance policy that covers students in the event that emergency treatment is needed. This insurance will cover the cost of medical evacuation to a nearby facility for emergency care in the event it cannot be handled at the Alexandra Hospital on Nevis. The premium amount is $30 U.S. per semester per student and is included in the Student Activity Fee. It is mandatory that all students and dependents carry this insurance.

Students must carry liability insurance during the 72 weeks of their Clinical Medicine program. Application forms will be provided upon admission to the Clinical Medicine program.
