OHSU tuition promise

Students enrolling at OHSU in eligible programs will pay the same tuition rate throughout their nursing program.  Students must be in good academic standing and continuously enrolled in their designated program to qualify.  

View the Tuition and Fees page for more information.

Students are charged for medical insurance unless they can prove current coverage. Coverage must be with major medical insurance at levels required by OHSU. Students must complete a waiver from the Student Health Services Office each academic year to have this charge waived from their final bill. View the OHSU online fee book for more information or call the Office of Financial Aid at 503-494-7800.
