The TJU PA Program is a 27 month program. This program is split up into what is called “two years”, although the first “year” is technically 15 months and the 2nd year is exactly that, 12 mos. Historically the first 15 months (aka first “year”) is more expensive than the 2nd year due to the fact that it is longer. TJU “year” one tuition was originally 46,250$ and year two was 40,750$ (document attached). The university announced a tuition freeze via email on the 30th of April, 2020 in order to “assist all of our students during this challenging time.” Instead of assisting TJU PA-S Co’21 this tuition freeze caused our year two cost of tuition to increase by 5,500$, making it the same cost as our “year” one tuition, which is actually 15 months not a year. The freeze was supposed to lower our tuition and has done the exact opposite. We are being charged the same rate for 12 months of school that we were charged for 15 months of school. We ask that our tuition be corrected to the appropriate cost.
We the undersigned, call on The Jefferson College of Health Professions Deans Office, Tuition Office, Provost and Financial Aid Office to correct TJU MPAS Co’21 Year Two Tuition cost.

The momentum behind this fight proves that Jefferson cannot ignore us any longer while they pocket thousands in illegal tuition hikes. We have pushed this issue into the light and the administration will have to answer for this blatant theft from our pockets.

Increasing the stated tuition for year 2 is inexcusable at any time but especially during this time of Covid 19 and financial instability that everyone is dealing with.
How do you put a freeze to "help" students during these troubling times and then turn around and raise the cost of tuition? Does that sound like you're helping??
Yeah, let’s take more money from these incredibly hardworking students that drop everything to devote their lives to this practice. All while attempting to cover it up with the Covid-19 pandemic that has made so many of your students’ lives more difficult, excellent choice guys. Let’s make it right
These students planned, budgeted and borrowed based on a published statement of tuition. It is completely unreasonable to make a significant change just weeks before the start of the year.
I trust that this is all a misunderstanding- an increase of almost $6000.00 is hardly a charitable “freeze”....
Blasphemy!!!!
Very unfair to make a change now when the students do not have a choice nor do they probably have the money

Tuition is high enough without charging extra. Most students will be paying off college loans for many years to come and to add this additional cost is rediculous and unfair. COST GOUGING!
