TUITION COSTS AND STUDENT BUDGETS

The student budgets listed below represent an estimate of the total cost for you to attend Suffolk University Law School for the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 semesters. Costs and student budgets for the 2012-2013 academic year will be available in mid February. The budget includes tuition, SBA dues, the cost of the University's Health Insurance Plan, books, and living expenses (includes housing, utilities, food, transportation to and from school, and miscellaneous personal expenses). The living expense budget maximum of $18,890 provides students living on their own with $2,098 per month for the nine month enrollment period of August 2011 - May 2012. For students living with a parent, the living expense maximum budget of $12,362 provides $1,373 per month. We encourage you to review these budgets carefully and plan your living expense costs accordingly. The lower your living expenses, the less your loan debt will be at graduation.

The student budget, or cost of attendance, figures listed below also represent the maximum amount of financial aid you can receive from all sources, including Suffolk aid, student loans, federal work study, employer tuition benefits, and any other aid from outside sources.

For financial aid purposes, full time in the JD program is considered 10 or more credits per semester for Day Division students and 7 or more credits per semester for Evening students. For JD students enrolled less than full time, your tuition charges will be $1,420 per credit.
