  • Financial Aid Amount available each year, including private student loans, (if you have good credit) equals the cost of attendance.

  • New students pay a (one time only) Student Bar Association Fee (SBA) of $190 which is NOT included in the budget.

  • Tuition generally increases 5% to 7% each year.

  • The cost of your laptop for the first year of law school can be added to your financial aid budget, enabling you to borrow additional private or Grad PLUS loan. You will need to turn in a copy of the receipt for the purchase to the COL Financial Management Office.

  • The Admission Deposit(s) you made prior to school starting are credited to your Fall Account.

  • First year students will get a refund check for Fall Semester (if applicable), once school starts and financial aid is in order.

  • Refund checks are mailed directly to the student's mailing address. Please check your student account and confirm that the correct address is on file.

  • You may also set up direct deposit of your refund:
    1. Go online to MyWeb »
    2. Login and choose Personal Information
    3. Choose Add/Change Bank Account Info
    4. Choose Insert New
    5. Fill in the bank information
    6. The routing number is the first number on the bottom of your check or deposit slip on the left hand side. It's usually nine digits.
    7. The account number is the number immediately to the right of the routing number. It can vary in its number of digits dependent on your bank.
    8. Deposits usually take 48 hours to reach your account.

Cost of Attendance can be increased on a case by case basis for the cost of tuition for a credit overload, for child care, for the purchase of a computer, and for loan fees by completing a Financial Aid Appeal. Please contact the Financial Management Office if you plan to do a financial aid appeal.
