Enrollment Requirements and Deadlines

LL.M. and J.S.M. Degree Programs:

If an applicant is accepted for admission, then he or she will receive an official admission letter by email to submit a non-refundable deposit of $500.

Should the applicant fail to submit the tuition deposit within the prescribed period, then the applicant’s admission will be null and void. The applicant may instead of submitting the matriculation deposit request to be placed upon the waiting list. Waiting list candidates will be notified of admission two weeks after the application deadline and may at that time submit the full course enrollment fee within five business days of notification.

Upon receiving either the matriculation deposit or full course enrollment fee, the candidate will be enrolled in Thesis 1. All persons admitted, including non-degree, must take the Online Research & Writing (Thesis 1) course the first semester, along with any other courses, but for exceptional circumstances. This course teaches the use of the many research databases, interaction with resources, minimum writing standards, as well as the general process of online learning.

The student may elect to take any number of courses, even only one, a semester. However, each course is only offered at most once a year. Each year from the start date of the student, to continue to be an active student, three courses must be enrolled in. An inactive student may, at the discretion of the admission committee, seek re-activation by payment of a re-activation fee and submission of a letter of time frame of courses to be enrolled in.

Each student should plan a curriculum estimate upon acceptance. Each course is guaranteed to be offered only once every two years. However, a course may be offered each year, subject to sufficient enrollment. A course that is not offered one year will be offered the following year.

Students that want to continue to access the library and not have their Westlaw, Lexis, other databases and student id/email suspended during semesters of non-enrollment may pay a continuation fee of $500 each semester to continue to have such access.

Tuition payments must be arranged with and recorded with the law school business office before courses begin. The student loan application and process is solely the responsibility of the student.

Failure to arrange for timely payment before courses begin will result in the forfeit of enrollment that semester and the student being placed on inactive status.
