University Regulations

By the action of registration, all Learners become bound by the policies and regulations of NOSM University. All Learners are responsible for familiarizing themselves with NOSM University’s policy and regulations. (e.g., Academic Schedule of Fees, Refund Policy, the Academic Schedule) 

Registration is not considered complete until the tuition and ancillary fees are paid. Default of fees may result in a learner’s registration being cancelled. In addition, learners with amounts owing to the University will not be permitted to register in future sessions, receive their degree certificate, receive a transcript, or confirmation of enrollment.

Paying tuition and registration fees.

Tuition, registration, and ancillary fee payments are to be received according to the Payment due dates noted in the Academic Fee Schedule. Failure to pay account fees on time may result in academic holds and deregistration. 

Unpaid tuition and registration fees/ Past due accounts

Learners with an unpaid balance will not be permitted to register in a future term until their account balance has been paid in full. Learners with an unpaid balance will not have access to final grades, official transcripts or degree certificates. 

Registration after the published tuition fee payment due date

Learners who register after the published payment due dates should be prepared to pay their fees the same day to avoid late payment fees.

Continuance of Registration for Graduate Learners

All graduate learners must maintain continuous registration from initial registration until they have completed the requirements of their program. It is the learner’s responsibility to ensure they are registered by the appropriate deadline for each term. 

Graduate learners who have failed to register by the deadline and have not applied for a Leave of Absence will be registered in a University placeholder course and will be assessed appropriate fees.

Graduate Learners who have failed to register for two consecutive terms will be considered to have left the program and will be withdrawn. Learners wanting to complete their program must apply for re-admission and pay the application fee.

Medical Physicians Residency Program

Primarily working in hospital cancer care centres, medical physicists have specialized education in the application of physics to health care. NOSM University works in collaboration with Health Sciences North and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre to provide the Medical Physics Residency Education Program (MPREP), which offers education in the clinical application of medical physics with a particular focus on radiation oncology. Learners in this program learn how to apply physics to the processes that constitute a radiation treatment program, including development of individualized patient radiation treatment plans, computation of radiation doses, verification of the accuracy of radiation treatments, maintenance of a comprehensive quality assurance program, and ensuring appropriate radiation safety in facility design and equipment operation, and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

The radiation treatment centres are operated by two Northern academic teaching hospitals: Health Sciences North (HSN) in Sudbury and in Thunder Bay, the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC).
