*A qualifying UWLA senior is a student of the Law School  that wishes to take more than the eighty-five units needed to graduate.  Thus any units registered for after the required eighty-five units would be at a reduced rate.

The following is an approximate projected budget for full-and part-time students at our affordable law school in California:

Part-time (18 units) Full-time (24 units)

The above does not include room and board or individual living expenses. It is estimated that room and board in the Los Angeles area are at least $15,000 per academic year. 

Typically, students will complete 18-24 units per academic year. For purposes of illustration of the cost of attendance, the figures below are computed at 18 units per year for part-time and 24 units for full-time enrollment.

Refund policies depend on a student’s status and when the student withdraws. For students who withdraw from any class up through the 60% point in the semester, charges are reduced in proportion to the percentage remaining in the semester after the student’s withdrawal date. For students who withdraw from any class after the 60% point in the semester, NO REFUND IS GIVEN.

The withdrawal date is set as the date that the student submits a Change of Program Form or a Full Withdrawal Form and the applicable fee. A $45.00 fee is assessed each time a student withdraws from a class (after the second week of school in a given semester) or withdraws from the school (at any time).

If the student withdraws from ALL classes in a given semester, refunds on tuition are first returned to the applicable aid program(s) or the private loan agency if applicable.

Any request to withdraw from a class or from the school MUST BE IN WRITING and accompanied by the appropriate fee to be valid. Verbal notifications of intent to withdraw from a class or from the school are insufficient, and will not be recognized as an appropriate notice to the school.

All legitimate requests for the refund of tuition payments will be made within 30 days after a student withdraws from school, or 30 days after the law school’s notice that it will discontinue any class or program.

The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) Program, sometimes referred to as Chapter 31 or Voc-Rehab, helps veterans with service-connected disabilities and employment handicaps prepare for, find, and keep suitable jobs.  For veterans with service-connected disabilities so severe that they cannot immediately consider work, VR&E offers services to improve their ability to live as independently as possible.  

At UWLA you can use this benefit to financially assist in the tuition cost for post-secondary training and education.  Please contact your veteran services representative for more information
