The cost of attendance (COA)聽is the maximum amount of financial aid permitted from all sources; including but not limited to federal and private student loans, merit scholarships, need-based grant, and other institutional and external funding sources.听Institutional funds awarded by AUWCL, in combination with tuition-only outside assistance, cannot exceed AUWCL tuition.听Tuition and fees are set by the board of trustees on an annual basis.
The part-time JD COA is for students enrolled below 12 credits per semester. Part-time JD students enrolled in 12 or more credits will be charged the tuition rate for full-time JD students. Enrollment in six credits per fall/spring semester is required for receipt of federal financial aid.听Actual enrollment in a given term determines the COA calculation and students cannot exceed the COA in either the term or the overall academic year.听
While the COA cannot be increased to meet non-educational obligations, documented extraordinary expenses and/or special needs may be considered per federal regulations. The COA can be increased for a one-time computer and/or related equipment purchase under specified conditions, to cover the cost of AU medical insurance (if opted in), or to cover the cost of bar exam fees. A separate form is required through the AUWCL Office of Financial Aid for the computer, medical, and bar exam fee reimbursements and are posted on the Financial Aid Forms webpage.
