Current Post-Bac FAQs

Is there a student group for post-bacs?

Yes, the Post-Bac Pre-Med Student Group is run by student volunteers.  The student group produces a weekly newsletter of items of interest to PBPM’s, arranges social events, and facilitates study groups, among other things.  Post-Bac students may also participate in the Pre-Med Society or Pre-Dent Society facilitated by undergraduate students.

How do I find out about financial aid?

Questions about financial aid should be addressed to the Office of Student Financial Services.

When and how do I register for my courses?

Post-Bac students register during slightly different time periods after the undergraduate students. Email notices are made to Post-Bacs when registration is open for a specific term.  Registration is done by the student through the MyAccess system. 

I need to add/drop/withdraw from a course.  What do I do?

Students may use add/drop through MyAccess during the add/drop period at the beginning of each term.  Withdrawals from courses occur after the add/drop period closes with the Add/Drop Form available in the Dean’s office.  You may consult the academic calendar on the Registrar‘s webpage for dates, deadlines, and tuition refund information.
