Payment ScheduleThe School of Law requires
full payment of law school tuition and fees by the first day of classes each semester and does not offer a payment plan. Students who do not settle their account by the first day of classes will be assessed a $100 late fee and have a hold placed on their account to prevent registration in subsequent semesters until they have pre-paid their bill.
Current students may log onto
Sonisweb with their Sonisweb ID to access their student account.
Students may mail or bring payments to UDC David A. Clarke School of Law, 4200 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Building 38 (215B), Washington, DC 20008 or pay by credit card (note that credit card payments require a Credit Card Authorization form (.pdf)).
