The list of fees and expenses above should not be considered complete for all students.

TECHNOLOGY FEE

This covers the school recommended laptops, services requisite software.

Projected Tuition

Upon notification of acceptance into the program, applicants are required to submit a non-refundable $1,000 enrollment fee as directed in the acceptance letter. The fee will be applied to the first quarter tuition upon matriculation to the dental school. Financial aid will not cover the estimated doctoral kit deposit nor the estimated $1,000 enrollment fee. First quarter tuition is due and payable 60 days before the day of matriculation. Subsequent payment of tuition is due by the first day of each quarter and is a prerequisite for registration and continued enrollment.

Living Expenses

Living expenses are calculated on the basis of a single student living near the school. This includes rent (with roommate), utilities, transportation and food. Students in the IDS program should plan on living in the nearby area, which is a highly desirable area of San Francisco: Pacific Heights. There is adequate housing in San Francisco, and the public transportation system is one of the best in the country. Since the IDS program is an accelerated program, it is recommended that students live within the city limits to keep traveling time at a minimum. Parking, as in many metropolitan areas, is extremely limited; unless necessary, students should have other means of transportation. The IDS Office keeps information on available housing in San Francisco and can assist accepted students with housing information.

Health Insurance

All members of the Pacific student body are required to maintain health insurance for the duration of their attendance at the dental school. All students are to adhere to immunization requirements.
