Tuition - JD Program
During the fall and spring semesters, tuition is charged to Loyola JD students on a flat rate basis. Students classified as Day Division students must pay a full-time flat rate tuition and students classified as Evening Division students must pay a part-time flat rate tuition. Students must pay the flat rate tuition charge based on their particular classification even though they may be enrolled in fewer than the minimum number of units required. However, a Day Division student who, in his/her final semester, has met the residence requirement and does not need to enroll in a minimum 12-unit load, may petition through the Office of the Registrar to request to be charged the part-time tuition rate. In addition, an evening student who successfully petitions to enroll in a full-time course load (twelve through sixteen units) in his/her final semester is charged the full-time flat rate tuition.

The Payment Plan Fee is charged per term. Please refer to Tuition and Fees for the 2024-2025 payment plan rates.

Past Due Balance

If a student has either not made payment or not proposed a payment arrangement by the close of the Add/Drop period, the student may be administratively withdrawn from all of his/her classes for the term.
Students with an outstanding balance may be subject to a billing hold. A billing hold prevents all registration activity in the current and future terms until the account is settled. Students with a billing hold may be permitted to take final examinations but will be unable to access their grades or register for the next term. If a student is prohibited from registering for future terms due to non-payment, the Five Year Rule requirement related to graduation will remain in effect during this time.
The university utilizes a collection agency to secure outstanding overdue balances. All collection costs, when the collection agency is utilized, will be charged to the student.
Returned Payments
A Returned Item Fee ($35) will be charged if a check or electronic payment is returned unpaid by the bank for any reason. The Returned Item Fee cannot be waived. If a student submits three non-sufficient funds payments, the Student Accounts Office will require that the student submit all subsequent payments by certified check, debit card or in cash.
Dropping Classes (Fall and Spring Terms) - Flat Rate tuition
JD students are charged on a flat rate basis during the Fall and Spring terms. The tuition charge will not change if the student drops units as long as the student remains in the same classification (Day or Evening). In the rare case a JD Day student is permitted to enroll in fewer than 12 units, the flat rate Evening Tuition and General Student Fee will apply. Evening students approved by the Office of the Registrar to take more than 11 units will be charged the Day Tuition and General Student Fee. Please consult with the Office of the Registrar regarding these exceptions.
Students in the LLM FTA program are also charged on a flat rate basis in the Fall and Spring terms. The flat rate charge will not change if students drop units as permitted by their specific program.
All students are charged per unit during the Summer and Intersession terms and the corresponding Tuition Liability/Refund Policy applies when units are dropped.
Dropping Classes - Per Unit Tuition
Students who are charged tuition on a per unit basis are subject to the Tuition Liability/Refund Policy established by the Student Accounts Office every term. Please refer to the Tuition Liability/Refund Policy below if you are considering dropping units.
Tuition Liability/Refund Policy for All Programs
The policy set forth below applies when a student withdraws or takes a Leave of Absence. This policy also applies to students who are charged on a per unit basis if they drop units during the current term. Please note that the last day to withdraw without tuition penalty does not correspond with the last day to withdraw without a "W" established by the Office of the Registrar. Other mandatory fees are prorated on the same scale. For a student paying tuition on a per unit basis (including but not limited to JD/MBA, Intersession, and Summer School), the student may be liable for units added and/or dropped after the last day to drop without liability even though there is no change in the net number of units being taken. (For example, if a student is enrolled in four 3-unit classes and decides to withdraw from one of them and replace it with another 3-unit class, the student would be liable for the tuition for 15 units; there would be a percentage liability for the three units dropped and full liability for the remaining 12).
Withdrawal/Leave of Absence
Students who withdraw or take a leave of absence from the Law School must obtain the required form from the Office of the Registrar. A student on a leave of absence is ineligible to return to the Law School until his/her financial obligations to the Law School are satisfied.
