All scholarships (academic, donor, or service) and Law School grants are intended for full-time enrollment. Reduction in course load below the minimum required for full-time status will result in reductions or cancellation of awarded scholarships.
All charges are due as billed. Students unable to pay the entire bill at that time must make alternative arrangements with the Bursar’s Office.
