Medical Insurance
The cost will differ based on the medical insurance plan. If students are no longer covered under their parent’s plan, they should shop around for the best plan to fit their needs. Please note: Federal regulations prevent this cost from being covered by Financial Aid.
Room and Board
Space is limited in the graduate dormitories located on an adjacent campus. Most occupational therapy students live off-campus as it is more conducive to their study habits. To estimate the cost, candidates are advised to browse rental listings for adjacent towns such as Glen Cove, Roslyn, Greenvale, and Hicksville. Due to the above-average cost of off-campus living in the vicinity, students should prepare for additional costs beyond what is covered by financial aid. In addition, Financial aid will not cover the cost of room and board during the first-year summer break.
