The cost of books and instruments varies with each student. Students may purchase new or used books and may choose to borrow or rent some books from fellow students. The first year's expenses will be the greatest because students must purchase certain instruments and they must have an approved microscope. These expenses are detailed in the Financial Aid Assistance Booklet which can be obtained in the Financial Aid Office.
Microscopes are available for rental or purchase.
Details on both options are mailed in the spring to all students admitted for the following fall. All students are expected to carry health insurance, including insurance for hospitalization. The Health Service Plan is for students who already have hospitalization insurance, but desire prepaid outpatient services from the Student Health Service Clinic. The Broad Plan Health Insurance provides comprehensive hospitalization and major medical insurance benefits in addition to the outpatient benefits of the Student Health Service Plan. Students showing proof of health insurance from a private carrier may decline the University of Louisville health insurance plans.
