Suffolk Law - 2019 New Student Information Guide

TUITION AND FINANCIAL AID

Tuition Liability

Refund Information

Tuition liability will be based on the date in which your leave of absence or withdrawal form is received. In the Law School drops or withdrawals must be completed prior to the first day of classes to avoid any tuition charges.

By law, Suffolk University cannot withhold refunds generated from federal loan proceeds longer than 14 days from the beginning of classes. Stafford loans received after the semester begins will be refunded within 14 days of their receipt, unless specified by the student to hold the funds. Refunds due to federal, and private loans will be processed at the beginning of the semester provided you are registered in the appropriate number of credits, have completed all necessary paperwork, and the loan(s) creates a credit balance on your tuition account. If you want your refund from federal financial aid to be applied towards non- tuition charges such as health insurance, you must complete the Title IV Authorization form that can be found on My Suffolk. To receive your refunds please make sure to set up your direct deposit account by logging on to your SU Pay account. This is a safe and easy way to receive your refunds. Refunds will not be mailed. As a supplement to the University's refund policy, students have the option to purchase tuition insurance provided through GradGuard Tuition Protection Plan. Please check the Tuition Protection Insurance page for more information including coverage plans, benefits, and costs: Tuition Insurance Plan

Non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal and does not relieve you of your financial obligation for the classes you registered for. Tuition liability begins the first day of class. To avoid liability you must withdraw prior to the start of classes. Please refer to the schedule shown above.

Delinquent accounts may be assessed collection fees and reported to the credit bureau.
