The university has computer labs; however, it is recommended that students have an electronic device of their choice. It is extremely important that applicants be committed to meeting their financial responsibilities during their three years of training. This should include tuition, living expenses, books, equipment, and miscellaneous expenses. It is mandated that each student carry adequate personal medical and hospital insurance. Students may avail themselves of the hospitalization insurance plan obtainable through the university. For all predoctoral students, the purpose of the Student Financial Assistance Program at Nova Southeastern University is to help as many qualified students as possible to complete their health professions education. Various loans, scholarships, and grants are available to qualified students to help ease the high cost of a health professions education. These financial assistance programs are described in a variety of separate university publications. Opportunities for a limited number of part-time work assignments may be available. However, the demands of a program of professional study limit the number of hours a student can work. Policies Related to Academic and Student Affairs The policies regarding suspension, dismissal, readmission and other academic and student policy issues are described in the College of Dental Medicine Predoctoral Student Handbook, which is revised, updated, and distributed annually to all predoctoral dental medicine students.
