If you are enrolled in a UCSF graduate program, please get in touch with your program manager about enrolling in ImS courses. Enrollment fees may be covered by tuition or training funds.
ImS courses tend to fill before registration deadlines (see below). Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis in the order in which payment is received. Credit card
payments are automatically reported to us within 24-48 hours. If you or your institution will pay by bank/wire transfer, please let us know by email so we can temporarily hold a seat for you until payment is received or the enrollment deadline has passed, whichever comes first.
In Academic Year 2026 - 2027 the fee for each course is $2,900. A reduced fee of $2,250
is available for individuals affiliated with UCSF, San Francisco VA Medical Center, individuals based in
countries designated as low- or lower-middle-income economies (LMIC), and
individuals based in areas of ongoing armed conflict. Applicants seeking the
reduced fee will be asked to provide support for their status.
Enrollment deadlines:
- Fall courses - August 15
- Winter courses - December 1
- Spring courses - March 1
If a deadline has passed, send us email to find out if you can still enroll. See the ImS program FAQ page for information about dropping courses/refunds, accessibility, expected time commitment, and other details. For all other questions: ImplementationScience@ucsf.edu.
NOTE: There is a $100 late enrollment fee applied if submission is received after the enrollment deadlines referenced above.
