*An amount of $1,500 is budgeted as a one-time technology allowance for the laptop is included in the first-year cost of attendance. This allowance is in addition to a budgeted amount of $2,000 for books and other program-related materials for the first year. Actual expenses may vary.

Exam Allowances

  • Second Year: The cost of the COMLEX Level 1 Exam ($715) is added to the second year fall semester cost of attendance. An allowance of $1,000 is included for board prep materials.
  • Third Year: The cost of the COMLEX Level 2 Exam ($715) and $1,200 travel allowance to cover the cost for on-campus clinical skills examination in place of the COMLEX PE are added to the third year fall semester cost of attendance. An allowance of $1,000 is included for board prep materials.

Students may request consideration for an increase to their cost of attendance (if needed) to cover additional costs for residency interviews and other educationally related expenses. Please email sfs@une.edu for a Request for Cost of Attendance Increase Form, which may be submitted along with documentation supporting the additional expenses (e.g. receipts for transportation, hotel, and ERAS fee).

Health Insurance as a direct or indirect cost

Health Insurance is considered a direct cost because it is a requirement of the University/program. If you currently have insurance, you must opt-out of the university health insurance through submitting a health insurance waiver. Otherwise, health insurance charges are automatically applied to your SWAGÊÓƵ student account.

If you waive the university health insurance, the insurance charge will be waived from your student account in TouchNet. However, the cost of insurance will still be reflected in the cost of attendance. This means your loan offer amounts are set up to cover this expense to assist with purchasing health insurance through another provider.
