The effective date of the withdrawal is the Saturday of the week of the student's last date of class attendance.

If a student withdraws prior to the start of the first term, no tuition/fees are due, however, deposits are forfeited.
If a continuing student withdraws prior to the start of a new term, a refund will be issued for that term and successive terms previously paid but not completed. There are no refunds for terms completed.
If a student withdraws within the first nine weeks of a term, tuition will be refunded based on a prorated scale for the portion of the term that has elapsed.
If a student withdraws after the last day of the initial nine-week period, no refund will be extended for the term. Any future terms that have been paid in advance will be refunded.

Refund Policy for Drop Courses

A Student's program of study may be amended within term to allow for withdrawal from course(s) and program restructuring with approval of the appropriate governing body.

In the event of a course withdrawal, students will receive a full refund for any course withdrawal which occurs prior to the close of business on the last day to register.
If a withdrawal occurs prior to close of business on the 7th calendar day following the 1st unified or primary exam, student tuition will be refunded based on a prorated scale for the portion of the term that has elapsed. No refund will be granted for course withdrawals which occur following this period.

Textbooks

Trinity provides textbook and supply schedules to assist students in securing the appropriate books and supplies for their term of study. Freshman students assuming a full schedule of courses should budget $500 to $600 to satisfy their book and supply needs. This amount may be less if the student is operating on a modified schedule or elects to purchase used books. Trinity maintains an approved online textbook order program that students may utilize to acquire books and supplies (see link on homepage). We encourage all students to utilize this service.

Health Insurance

Health insurance is mandatory while students are enrolled with Trinity School of Medicine. Trinity offers a Student Health Care policy underwritten by the United HealthCare Insurance Company, an operating division of UnitedHealth Group, the largest single health carrier in the United States. They have extensive experience developing medical plans for students studying in the Caribbean basin and international level. The cost of the policy is currently $350.00 per term.

Students may have access to or be currently enrolled in an alternate health insurance program through a spouse or other family member. Students may continue with their current plan if it provides coverage essentially equivalent to the Trinity Program. Students utilizing this approach must provide proof of coverage in a form acceptable to Trinity prior to or at registration.

However, students in Term two through four of their studies may choose to utilize privately maintained off-campus housing.
