The annual cost of attendance budget is directly related to the amount of financial aid available to you each year. The total amount of financial aid, including private loans, cannot exceed the total cost of attendance budget. Please note that the annual cost of attendance budget for part time students is based on a standard 10 unit per semester course load (20 units for the fall and spring academic year). Part time evening budgets for individual students can be adjusted depending on the unit load per semester. Tuition costs are calculated on per unit cost. The cost of attendance budget can also be increased for certain expenses that a student may incur outside their normal budget such as medical or insurance costs, a one-time computer purchase, or child care costs. The cost of attendance budget can also be adjusted if a law student decides to enroll in a summer session program. Students should contact the law school's financial aid administrator for information on requesting an increase in the cost of attendance budget.
