Book a campus tour first — nothing is due until you've visited and decided. Then: a $150 registration fee online, a $750 seat deposit once your application is in (your $150 counts toward it), and the balance on an interest-free 6- or 8-month in-house plan — or 18 months through TFC. Full breakdown below.
- Textbooks (2)
- One set of personalized scrubs
- CPR/BLS/AED certification through AHA
- Student clinical kit
- Personalized notebook binder
- Resume workshop
- Membership to the American Dental Assistants Association
- All material and lab fees
Four steps — you always know what's due and when.
- Step 1FreeBook a campus tour
Everything starts with a visit. Pick a time on our calendar, see the classroom and lab, meet Debbie and Ashley, and decide if FIDA is right for you. Nothing to pay yet.
Book my tour - Step 2$150Registration fee
After your tour, when you've decided to enroll. Paid online through QuickBooks — card, bank transfer (ACH), PayPal, or Venmo. Non-refundable; it counts toward your seat deposit.
- Step 3$750Seat deposit
Due once your online application and enrollment agreement are in — this is what reserves your seat in a specific class. Your $150 registration fee counts toward it, so $600 is due at this step.
- Step 4$9,100Tuition balance
Choose an interest-free in-house plan or an 18-month plan through TFC. Your advisor sets it up with you before class starts.
