*Professional Licensure: If your program of study leads to a career field that requires
professional licensure to be gainfully employed, you may have additional costs for
that licensure. Follow up with your academic program to learn more about when you
will need to obtain your licensure and what costs will be associated with obtaining
the licensure.
For Accelerated Nursing and the Statewide Nursing Pathway programs, your examination
and licensure expenses are estimated in your cost of attendance during your final
year. If you are not in one of these programs but will have licensure or certification
costs associated with being able to work in your chosen degree field - and you will
incur these costs during your final semester, you may request these costs be added
to your cost of attendance. Schedule an appointment with a financial aid advisor to
discuss your options. Note that inclusion of a cost in your cost of attendance does
not guarantee eligibility for additional financial aid.
