Registration and Payment Protocols and Deadlines

Registration each trimester is a formal written procedure that represents both an academic and financial commitment. To be officially enrolled at the law school, students must complete the financial part of registration before each semester’s courses begin. The process of registering is performed by the student approximately one month before a semester begins. Registration after this period will have a late fee applied.
Accessing a course, course materials, and faculty neither constitutes course registration nor good standing. All prior balances must be cleared before students are permitted to register for a current term. Based upon this registration form, the business office will issue you a tuition and fee invoice that must be paid in full by August 15th for fall, December 15th for Spring, and May 15th for summer. Candidates using federal student loans may instead submit the loan commitment and disbursement letter.

Accessing (attendance) a course will begin the first day of class if the student’s tuition balance has been cleared. Students on financial aid may be granted temporary access pursuant to the loan commitment being issued.

Withdrawal

The financial obligations that a student incurs through registration remain unless the student withdraws with a signed WITHDRAWAL FORM from the courses during the refund period. If a student withdraws during the refund period, he or she is entitled to a refund based on the effective date of withdrawal.

The effective date of withdrawal materializes the day of receipt by fax or post during normal business hours at the law school of the withdrawal form. Email is not an acceptable communication for withdrawal.
