REGISTRATION
John Marshall Law School students may choose to finance their education through student loans or by participating in the School based Tuition Installment Plan.

Student Loans

John Marshall Law School students are eligible to receive Title IV aid from the Department of Education.  The JMLS School Code is: G31733.  Students may apply for Federal Student loans by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) via FAFSA on the WEB at www.fafsa.ed.gov. This may be done beginning January 1 of each year.  In order to ensure the student's aid package is completed prior to the beginning of each fall, the student will need to complete the FAFSA by June 1 of each year.  Students will need to have his or her taxes completed in order to better assist the student with the completion of the FAFSA.

All students who complete the FAFSA are eligible to receive Federal Stafford Loans.  The maximum amount of Stafford Subsidized loans that a student is eligible to receive each year is $8,500 and $12,000 for Stafford Unsubsidized loans based on the information received from the FAFSA.  Further information may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office.

Students may also apply for alternative loans to assist with educational expenses. A co-signer may not be required if the student is an eligible borrower.  Further details of the alternative loans available can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office.

Tuition Installment Payment Program

Students who are current in their financial obligations to the Law School may elect to participate in the Tuition Installment Payment Program.  Students who are interested in participating in the Program must contact the Bursar’s Office before registration.  To participate, students must execute a Promissory Note, pay a $75 participation fee and make a minimum tuition payment of $500.  The remaining balance of tuition is paid in five (5) monthly installments due on the 15th of each month of the semester.

A $75 late penalty shall be assessed for each installment not received by the 20th of the month in which the payment is due.  If payment is not received by John Marshall Law School by the 30th of the month in which the payment is due, the student shall be deemed in default and shall be academically withdrawn from the Law School with no automatic right to readmission.  A student in default shall not be allowed to sit for examinations.

John Marshall Law School reserves the right to terminate the student’s participation in the Tuition Installment Payment Program if the student is chronically late in making payment under the terms of their Promissory Note.  A student shall be deemed chronically late if the student makes more than two late payments.  A student need not be in default to be deemed chronically late.

A student who defaults on the terms of this Promissory Note shall also be liable for the costs incurred by John Marshall Law School in collecting the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, costs, and collection service fees. 

A student who defaults on the terms of this Promissory Note shall also be liable for interest on the unpaid principal.  Interest shall accrue from the date of default at a rate of seven (7) per cent simple interest per annum.

Once a student has been terminated from the Tuition Installment Payment Program, the student is required to pay tuition in full on the first day of class for future semesters.
