   Hi Sherbevs, 1) No, I called and they are backed up. "A" from student wellness said just to bring a copy to orientation as back up in case they have not entered it into the computer. 2) We will not have access to Blackboard until we are registered. ...

   Hi johnsonag415, I was told that the clinicals will be scheduled as close to your home address as possible. The clinicals in Galveston are usually reserved for students living on the island. UTMB is not fully functional after Ike yet, so clinicals ...

   Hi Meghan, I found a website with the UT scrubs if you want to order online. It's the only place I found that has the multiple pockets - https://www.collegiatescrubsonline.com/products.php?scrubsname=University-of-Texas&cat=54 There should be pl...

    Hey All, A question for the Bacc2s - on your financial aid portal - the "cost of attendance", does this really include tuition and books for the year? I figured tuition/fees and books would cost about 13-14k total for the whole program, so if I subtr...
