Rising tuition places an extraordinary burden on students seeking degrees as health care professionals. As an institution, OHSU is committed to our students and sensitive to this burden.

OHSU has instituted a tuition promise for certain programs. The OHSU Tuition Promise means that for students enrolled in eligible clinical degree programs during specific academic years, the tuition rate paid will be "locked in" with no rate increase for the remainder of their studies, as long as they complete the degree within the normal timeframe specified by the degree program.

Eligible academic years for the OHSU Tuition Promise are:

• 2013-14 OHSU Tuition Promise – All students enrolled during 2013-14 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below, will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2013-14 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).

• 2014-15 OHSU Tuition Promise – All new students enrolled during 2014-15 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2014-15 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).
• 2015-16 OHSU Tuition Promise – All new students enrolled during 2015-16 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2015-16 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).

• 2016-17 OHSU Tuition Promise: All new students enrolled during 2016-17 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2016-17 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).

• 2017-18 OHSU Tuition Promise: All new students enrolled during 2017-18 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2017-18 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).

• 2018-19 OHSU Tuition Promise: All new students enrolled during 2018-19 in one of the eligible degree programs listed below will not incur a tuition rate increase over their 2018-19 tuition rates during the remaining years of their degree (as long as the degree is completed within the normal timeline as specified by the degree program).
  

  For example, a new student entering in 2017-18 to a four-year eligible degree program, listed below, would incur the same tuition rate during the four-year length of their program.
  

By "locking in" tuition for the duration of the degree program, the OHSU Tuition Promise benefits eligible students by providing a fixed tuition rate resulting in greater predictability of expenses. Additionally, the cap on the tuition rate will result in a reduced debt load upon graduation.
