Tuition and Financial Aid • Tuition for the 2016-17 academic year is $34,500. • Tuition is paid in three equal installments over the first three

quarters (fall, winter, spring); enrollment in summer is for thesis students and there is no additional tuition due.

• Financial aid offers will be made based on these tuition levels + cost of living and were only made for the first three quarters.

• Students that perform thesis work over the summer quarter receive (*) a small stipend that meets their cost of living.

Where does my tuition go? • The MSBI program was approved by the University of California

as a self-supporting program. • Of the tuition you pay, ~25% goes to university services and

~75% goes to the MSBI program • ~70% of MSBI funds cover faculty and program administration • ~13% goes to pay rent on facilities • ~10% goes to medical equipment usage costs • ~7% goes to IT costs (laptops, SW licenses, server etc)

Offices and Laboratories • Shared office space is available for MSBI students at China Basin;

Access cards to the China Basin facility only work Mon-Fri between the hours of 6AM – 6PM.

• Laboratories will be at variable locations and times and may extend into the evening. There will typically be one lab/week and special access will be arranged as needed.

IT Overview - Computers • All students will be provided with a computer (MacBook Air) for

use for all MSBI activities. It will come loaded with relevant software and licenses and MUST be returned at the end of the program. You will be asked to sign a form indicating that you agree to this when you receive the laptop.

• The system was selected by our IT department due to its functionality for the program as well as encryption and networking considerations.

• Please do not personalize, add stickers etc!

IT Overview - Networking • It is mandatory that you ONLY use the provided laptop when

connecting to the UCSF networks or when handling MSBI related data. Personal laptops should not be used for any MSBI activities.

• IT will provide guidance on system use, network policy etc (MANDATORY IT orientation session: September 13th from 10:00-1:00). Please make sure to abide by their rules at all time.

• Wireless internet is available throughout the third floor of CBL and a very limited number of wired connections are in the MSBI student offices.

IT Overview - Email • Every student should already have a UCSF email ID. Mailing lists

have been developed for distribution purposes. Students can communicate with all other MSBI students via the MSBI listserv mailing list.

• After September 13th ALL MSBI related communications will be

directed solely to your UCSF email addresses.

IT Overview - Calendar • A calendar has been established (Rad – MBI Schedule) upon which

faculty can post class/lab schedules/details, office hours etc.

MSBI Orientation Activities

UCSF – Upcoming Events Chancellor's Reception and New Student Orientation Fair Date: September 19, 2016 - 4:00pm Location: Millberry Union Gym (Parnassus Campus) New students – Chancellor Sam Hawgood will welcome you to our UCSF campus community at this annual event. Don't miss this opportunity to find out more about the resources available to you at UCSF and to mingle with other new students. Refreshments and snacks will be served! Registered Campus Organization Fair Date: Tuesday, October 4, 12-1 p.m. Location: Millberry Union Conference Center (Parnassus Campus) Mingle, network, and enjoy some pizza while learning about the many campus-wide student clubs that you may join during your time at UCSF. Open to all students. Participating RCOs.

Laboratories – HIPAA & Safety Training • Practical experience with radiological equipment will require that

you undergo basic safety and HIPAA training. • You will be required to take standard training modules via UCSF’s

“Learning Management System”. • HIPAA training requires you to review the UCSF Privacy &

Confidentiality Handbook and take the online course entitled HIPAA 101 - Privacy and Security for New UCSF Faculty, Staff, Trainees, Students and Volunteers.

• Once completed, sign the UCSF Confidentiality Statement and return to Rukayah.

Laboratories – HIPAA & Safety Training • You will need to take the “MRI Safety” course, print out a training

transcript certificate, then sign it and return to Rukayah.

• Details on basic laboratory safety and radiation safety modules will be provided as part of BI202/209. Please be aware that you must complete these trainings in a timely fashion or you will not be allowed access to related labs.
