Tuition & Fees FAQ

  1. What are my options for paying for PA school?
    • Federal financial aid, federal loans, and private student loans are available to assist students in paying for tuition, fees, and living expenses. We encourage you to reach out to finaid@delval.edu to review your options.
  2. Can I work to help pay for PA school?
    • Maintaining any employment during PA training is highly discouraged given the rigor, time and dedication required for student success.
  3. What salary can be expected upon graduation? Will I be able to find a job?

    Physician assistant has consistently been a top-ranked profession by US News and World Report and certified physician assistants are in-demand nationally. Salaries are competitive and unemployment remains low. Please view the Occupational Outlook Handbook

  4. Will my tuition and fees be refunded if I leave the Program at any point?
    • Tuition and fees are billed by term. For students dismissed or withdrawing from the program during the first week of a term, tuition and fees will be refunded at 100% minus a $50 withdrawal fee. No refunds will be granted after the first week of the term. Please see physician assistant student refund below.
  5. Where can I get additional information about tuition, fees, and financial aid if I have more questions?

For students in our graduate-level programs, DelVal offers the option of deferring payment until 45 days after the end of the term. The deferred payment plan is the option if you wish to avoid the placement of a hold on your student account. Students who do not enroll in a deferred payment plan for the term(s) in which their courses are scheduled must pay in full or obtain federal or private loans by the start of the term.

DelVal works with TouchNet Information Systems, Inc.

  • Easy online enrollment at www.delval.edu/touchnet
  • Automatic withdrawals/charges with automatic bank payment (ACH), checking, savings account or a credit card
  • No interest
  • The $25 enrollment fee, is automatically withdrawn when you enroll.
  • Payment is initiated on the 45th day after the end of the term for the plan in which you enroll.
  • Please note that you must enroll in the plan for the term in which you are registered to take courses. Enrollment in a deferred payment plan for a term in which you are not registered will result in the plan being terminated and the forfeiture of the enrollment fee. If you need help, please contact the Office of the Bursar at bursar@delval.edu.
  • Though the student's account is updated immediately, it may take 1 to 3 business days for the funds to be withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card. You should still make sure the funds are in the account on the due date.

Below are some important details about DelVal's payment plans.

Installment reminder emails are sent only to the user whose credentials are used to enroll in the plan. The Authorized User setup link is on the landing page after you log in to TouchNet.
  • Payment plan adjustments are automatic. If your student account balance changes after payment plan enrollment, the payment plan wil automatically adjust.
  • What amount should my payment plan be?

If a graduate program student withdraws from a course, refunds are calculated from the date the student notifies the Office of the Registrar in writing. Phone calls, voicemails, failing or ceasing to attend a class is not an official drop or withdrawal and will not result in a tuition refund. Tuition and fees paid for canceled courses are refunded in full. All other refunds, minus a $50 processing fee per course, will be made according to the following schedules:
