Tuition & Fees

Tuition and Fees

UDC-DCSL is a very reasonably priced law school. Non-resident tuition is $14,700 per year for 2007-2008. Residents of the District of Columbia receive the benefit of a tuition preference and pay $7,350 for 2007-2008. The School of Law cannot guarantee that tuition and fee increases will not occur. Each applicant who accepts an offer of admission is required to submit a non-refundable tuition deposit ($200 for residents of the District; $300 for non-residents) by a date specified in the letter of admission. Tuition deposits are credited toward the first year tuition. Each enrolled student must pay fees of $630, and third year students are assessed an additional graduation fee of $325. The School of Law requires students to carry adequate health insurance. It is also mandatory that students purchase notebook computers.
