About the Annual Student Fee

For the 2020-21 academic year, University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis implemented a “one fee” approach to annual student fees wherein a single student fee is assessed to cover costs in a range of areas not covered under tuition, room and board charges.

These areas include, but are not limited to, orientation and graduation; student activities and cultural enrichment; and laboratory expenses.

The Annual Student Fee does not include additional expenses that vary based on options chosen by the student (i.e., housing, parking, etc.).

Additional Undergraduate Expenses

Undergraduate students may be responsible for the following fees.

Additional items to consider:

• Laptop Purchases: In addition to annual fees and expenses, students who are new to the University are responsible for the purchase of a laptop through the University’s online storefront. Laptop prices range from approximately $1,200-$1,500, depending on student selections. Once purchased, the laptop belongs to the student, and it may be replaced at the student’s discretion. Returning students should talk with the Information Technology Department for buyout options of their current leased laptop. 
• Student Health Insurance: Students are required to maintain health insurance coverage. Each year, students who do not waive health insurance coverage by the published deadline will be assessed fees for health insurance. Learn more at uhsp.edu/insurance.
• Room and Board: Room and board costs vary based on students’ room type selection.
