Paying for Law School with AccessLex
Paying for law school is often the top concern for aspiring law students. Thankfully, a little knowledge about the financial aid process and funding strategies will go a long way in lowering your stress as you make your way through your legal education. In this session, we’ll discuss cost of attendance, the financial aid application process and the types of aid available to law students. In addition, you’ll learn about student loans and how to compare financial aid offers so you can determine your estimated out-of-pocket expenses associated with each school you’re considering.
(Recording available on Slack)
On-campus housing is available. Find more information about housing.
If living on-campus is a priority for you, we encourage you to submit your housing application and deposit as soon as possible. Graduate housing placements are limited. They are assigned on a first-come first-served basis. You will be placed on the list according to the date that your completed housing application and deposit are received by our Office of Residence Life. Should all places fill up, you will be placed on a waitlist in the same order.
The Pioneer Valley offers a wide assortment of affordable, convenient housing options for students.

We are available to assist in finding the right housing for you. We encourage you to contact the Admissions Office at 800-782-6665 or by email at admissions@law.wne.edu with any questions.

In order to meet your healthcare needs and comply with the requirements of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Western New England University, you will need to complete the "Medical History, Physical Examination and Immunization Form" and the "Health Insurance Waiver/Enrollment Form." You may access these forms online.
You must provide an official final transcript, showing your undergraduate degree and the date it was awarded, to satisfy the American Bar Association (ABA) requirements. This final transcript should arrive prior to the start of Orientation. If the final transcript has not been received by October 15th, you will be dismissed from the School of Law.
If the transcript that you have already provided to LSAC was a final degree-granting transcript, then no further action is required. However, if your transcript(s) were submitted to LSAC prior to the date that your degree was conferred, you must request that an updated final official transcript containing the required details be submitted to LSAC. In the alternative, you may have your degree-granting institution send your final transcript directly to us here at Western New England University School of Law. Should you have any questions regarding your final transcript, please contact the Office of Admissions.
