Bursar Procedures
Tuition and university charges will be processed through the university bursar. You should receive your first bill in mid-July and it will be due in early-August. Financial aid offered by Cornell Law School will show as estimated aid on that bill. If you apply for a private loan before July 1, that amount will also be reflected on your bill.
All refunds should be picked up at the Bursar Office located at Day Hall.
