I hope this message finds you well. For those who were able to attend today’s conversation with Dean Ewert, we appreciated your questions. If you weren’t able to attend, the video will be posted on the Orientation 2020 website on Monday. In addition, you can also find previous e-mail messages on the site. As a reminder, Kami Sidman will lead a conversation on Being Well at GW Law on Monday, July 20 at 1 p.m. Below is some additional information we wanted to make sure you had:
Resume Information - If you have not done so already, please complete the resume form as instructed here on the portal. We have extended the deadline as we want to ensure we get information from everyone.
Tuition Refund Policy - Please note that the University's tuition fee policy may be found on pages 53-57 of The George Washington University Law School Bulletin.
In authorized withdrawals, leaves of absence, and changes in schedule, cancellations of semester tuition charges and fees will be made in accordance with the following schedule for the fall semester:
First Year Law Program - Fall Semester only (not including non-refundable deposits)
- Withdrawal prior to the last Friday in July (by 11:59 p.m. Thursday) - 100%
- Withdrawal prior to the first day of the student’s scheduled orientation (by 11:59 p.m. the day before) - 90%
- Withdrawal from the first day of the student’s scheduled orientation through the first week of the first-year law student classes of the semester (by 11:59 p.m. Sunday) - 75%
- Withdrawal from the end of the first week of the first-year law student classes through October 5 (by 11:59 p.m. October 5) - 50%
- Withdrawal after October 5 (beginning 12:00 a.m., October 6) - None
Please note that merit scholarships are automatically revoked in full with repayment required, starting with the semester from which the recipient withdraws, takes a leave of absence, or transfers between the full and part-time programs.
After all tuition and federal aid adjustments, the full revocation of the merit scholarship will require repayment from the student and may result in a balance due from the student to the University. It is imperative that students with merit scholarships discuss the financial impact of withdrawing prior to the end of the semester with a representative of the Law School Financial Aid Office.
Tuition Refund Plan – As a reminder, information about the law school-specific tuition refund plan can be found here.
Monthly Payment Plan - The University's information about payment plans may be found here. The monthly payment plan enables students or their authorized users to pay current Fall and Spring semester tuition and fees in four equal payments per semester and current Summer semester tuition in three equal payments.
Law School Affinity Groups – If you have not done so, please complete this form to receive information from one or more of our law school affinity groups. They are eagerly anticipating your arrival and look forward to welcoming you to the law school community.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions.
