Re-registration and extension

LLM and PhD tuition depends on how long it takes to complete your thesis or dissertation. Estimate total tuition by multiplying the full-term fee for up to 5 terms. After that, reduced re-registration fees apply until you reach your program limit (5 years for LLM, 7 years for PhD). Mandatory term fees are added each term.

If you go over your program time limit, and you are approved for an extension, you’ll be charged regular tuition fees each term during the period of your approved extension.
