Tuition and Fees
Student budgets are set by the University's Financial Aid Committee and may also be governed by federal student aid regulations. Modifications are possible but are limited to meeting the educational costs of attending law school, including tuition and fees, books and supplies, and nondiscretionary maintenance expenses.
