Generally, full-time J.D. students will have a tuition credit applied to their student accounts for their summer externship credits, with two key exceptions:

1. Full-time J.D. students who were once part-time students and continue to pay tuition on a per-credit basis will be charged for their summer externship credits, and
2. Full-time J.D. students who transfer to the part-time division or to another law school after their summer externship will have a retroactive charge for their summer externship credits posted to their student accounts.

For part-time (evening division) students, regular tuition rates apply to their participation in the Summer 2025 J.D. Externship Program.

All students will be charged tuition for a summer externship initially and then, to the extent a credit is appropriate, the Office of Student Accounts will post it to the student’s account by one week after the end of summer registration. If you have a question about whether you pay tuition on a per-credit basis, please contact the Office of Student Accounts.

If a qualifying full-time J.D. student (i.e., one who does not fall within one of the exceptions above) has no other student account charges and receives a tuition bill for the summer externship course, the student should do nothing, and wait for the tuition credit to post. (If they have any other charges, they should pay them.)

Students are charged for tuition insurance, which can be waived. If they are only registered for the externship course, they should complete the waiver. If they are registered for more summer credits than just the externship course, they should consider their options before waiving the tuition insurance.

Please note: The above tuition policies and recommendations are not set by the Office of Experiential Education, and questions about any of them should be directed to the Office of Student Accounts or the Office of Financial Aid.
