Section XI Tuition


Tuition and fees for the 2020-2021 school year on a semester basis are:

Full-Time (Day) JD Program*: (fall or spring term)

Part-Time (Evening) JD Program*: (fall or spring term)

Part-time program has a mandatory first summer session:

Resident/In-State tuition/fees: $4,057.50

Nonresident/Out-of-state/International tuition/fees: $6,517.50

*All tuition and fee schedules are subject to change without notice at any time upon action by the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York.

A Change of Program Adjustment Fee of $18.00 is due for adding or swapping any courses or class sections on or after the first day of classes.

We urge any course changes to be made prior to the first day of classes, when possible. Changes to your registration on or after the first day of classes may result in a tuition liability charge at a pro-rated amount, and/or can affect loan award disbursements resulting from the change in registration.

In addition to tuition, all students must pay a materials fee. This fee covers the costs of one-time expenses (e.g., printing diplomas) and recurring expenses (e.g., student copy card allocation each semester).

The student activity fee is allocated by the Law School Association to support Law School clubs and organizations.

The consolidated service fee is charged by the University to cover part of the cost of the administration of the University’s financial aid operation.

The technology fee is charged by the University to fund computer systems, services, and maintenance.

Please Note: We only accept cash or money orders for transcripts ($7).
