Cost of Services — for Registered Students
Charges can be billed directly to student accounts unless paid by credit card at the time of service. Please note, "Fee-for-Service" charges for elective procedures and graduated students (for one quarter after graduation) will vary depending on services rendered. For information about Automated Billing to student accounts, see Billing.
