Late Fee
Students registering after the official period designated for registration will be charged a late fee of $100. The deadline for enrolling in the Law Center for the fall and spring semesters shall be the sixth day of instruction. The Administration is committed to this policy and will enforce it strictly.

Refund of Tuition & Fees Policy
Academic fees are refunded as follows:
1. The General Fee, which includes student-assessed fees and nonresident fees, is refundable in accordance with the following schedule when a student resigns from the Law Center after completing the registration process:
 

    a.

    before classes begin, 90 percent;

    b.

    during the first 17 days of classes (first seven days in summer session), 75 percent;

    c.

    from the 18th through the 24th day of classes (eighth day through the 12th day in summer session), 50 percent;

    d.

    from the 25th day of classes (13th day in summer session) to the end of the semester, none.

2. Student insurance, parking fees, breakage fees, late-registration fees, student I.D. fees, and the technology fee are non-refundable.

Military Service
Students being activated or mobilized for military duty have the opportunity to withdraw without academic prejudice or financial obligations. Students unable to complete sufficient or satisfactory coursework to earn academic credit may withdraw in writing from coursework with a full refund of tuition and mandatory fees. Financial aid (Title IV) recipients will be subject to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds process. Students who have completed enough of the term to receive academic credit and satisfactory grades, as approved by the instructor, may choose to receive grades rather than withdrawing. In this case, the student would not receive a refund of tuition and fees.

Exception to Policy Based on Mitigating Circumstances
Any exception to this policy based on mitigating circumstances, such as an accident or other extreme occurrences, must have approval of the Chancellor.
