Transfer of credits earned at another law school:

A student who begins his or her legal studies at New England Law | Boston may transfer a maximum of six credits earned at another law school toward a New England Law | Boston degree. The credits may not be for required courses, and the written approval of the associate dean must be obtained in advance. There is no fee charged for this transfer, and the transferred credits do not affect the student’s tuition charges, which are based on the entire course of study required for a degree.

Nonpayment Penalties

Students who are delinquent in making payments to New England Law are subject to exclusion from classes or dismissal from school. Matriculation is conditioned on full payment of law school obligations and is subject to cancellation at any time for nonpayment.

A student may not be permitted to take a final examination if he or she is financially delinquent on the day the examination is scheduled. Transcripts or other certification of a student's status will not be issued for a student whose law school account is in arrears. New England Law will assess interest on delinquent balances.

Payment of tuition and fees

Tuition and fees are payable in full in advance of each semester (for example,
in August for the fall semester and in December for the spring semester). For those students or parents who wish to pay on a deferred payment basis, the law school offers an interest-free installment plan. For further information, contact Academic Management Services, One AMS Place, P.O. Box 100, Swansea, MA 02777, toll-free telephone: (800) 635-0120. Installment plan payments usually begin in June or July.

Voluntary withdrawal

A student who chooses to withdraw from law school but wishes to retain the option of readmission must submit a written request to the dean for withdrawal without prejudice. The approval of this request is determined by the student’s academic standing and the status of his or her account with Student Accounts in the Office of the Controller. The Student Handbook of Rules and Regulations details academic requirements relating to withdrawal and information on readmission procedures.

Information on voluntary withdrawal is available here.
