Tuition & Fees FAQ

  1. What are my options for paying for PA school?

    • All DelVal PA Students are eligible for federal financial aid. Many private loans are also available. 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. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than 30% growth in the PA profession by 2029. The unemployment rate currently stands at less than 1%. While salaries may vary significantly based on geographic location, specialty, and years of experience, the median salary is approximately $110,000 per year.
  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 here for more information.
  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  • The $25 enrollment fee, is automatically withdrawn when you enroll.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.

What are the terms and conditions?

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

  • Payment dates cannot be changed. All payments will be automatically withdrawn/charged on the scheduled due date. Please note that a delay in reimbursement from a third-party such as an employer will not result in an extension of the payment due date.
  • All payments are automatically withdrawn/charged. The enrollment fee is automatically withdrawn/charged on day of enrollment. The scheduled deferred payment is automatically withdrawn/charged on the specified due date. The payment cannot be extended past the 45th day after the end of the term for any reason.
  • Enter payment method information accurately. If your payment cannot be processed, your payment plan will be terminated and a $50 returned payment fee will be charged to your student account.
  • To receive payment plan notifications at a non-DelVal email address, set yourself up as an Authorized User with your preferred email address and use your Authorized User credentials to enroll in the payment plan. 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?
    The payment plan needs to cover all of your tuition and fees for the term. Contact the Office of the Bursar for assistance.
  • When can I enroll?
    Enrollment dates and payment dates are individual to each term. Please see the information below. When enrolling in a plan, it is important to choose the correct term and plan. If you enroll in a term in which you are not registered, the plan will be canceled and the enrollment fee will not be refunded.

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:
