The University reserves the right to change tuition and fees at any time without advanced notice.
Students will be billed for tuition and fees for each semester approximately 30 days prior to the
beginning of each term. Tuition and fees must be paid in full by the first day of class. Late tuition
payments or failure to make arrangements to pay tuition will result in the student being removed from
class and/or clinical rotations.
All students are required to obtain health insurance prior to matriculation and maintain their individual
health insurance throughout their time of enrollment at the University. Students are automatically
enrolled in the RVU Student Health Insurance plan and will be billed for the annual premium with their
fall tuition. Students may waive RVU insurance if they can document equivalent coverage. Refer to the
section on Student Health Insurance for more information.
Tuition Payment Information:
Tuition and fees are due and payable in full by the first day of the fall and spring semesters unless the
student has sufficient financial aid awarded to cover the balance due. RVU does not offer a tuition
payment plan.
Tuition payments may be made by check, credit card, or ACH transaction. Matriculated students will
have access to a payment portal for credit card or ACH payments. Any checks submitted must indicate
the student’s name and student number, and should be made out to “Rocky Vista University.”
Tuition Refund Information:
A student who withdraws (either voluntarily or involuntarily) before the first day of class of a semester
for which they have already paid their tuition and fees will receive a 100% refund for that semester, with
the exception of any non-refundable deposits which will be retained by the University.
Students who matriculate into the University, begin classes or rotations, and subsequently withdraw
(either voluntarily or involuntarily) within the first seven calendar days of a semester shall receive a
refund equal to the amount of their tuition for that semester less $4,000. Fees may be refunded with
the exception of charges already incurred as of the date of withdrawal.
Students who withdraw (either voluntarily or involuntarily) from the University after the first seven days
of class or rotations but before the thirtieth calendar day of the semester shall receive a refund of 50%
of the amount of tuition paid for that semester. No fees will be refunded. Important Note: All dismissals
are deemed involuntary withdrawals from the University. Students who are on a voluntary or
administrative leave of absence will not be eligible for refunds. Any exceptions to this refund policy must
be made by the Dean of the College.
