Tuition and Financial Aid
TUITION AND FEES TUITION PROTECTION POLICY
Monterey College of Law believes that it is the first law school in California to
implement a policy of protecting students from tuition increases during their course
of study. As long as a student remains continuously enrolled in good academic standing
at Monterey College of Law, their tuition rate will not increase. This unique policy
by the MCL Board of Trustees allows MCL law students to estimate the entire cost of
their law degree (excluding books and materials) at the time of their initial enrollment.
In recent years, other law schools in California have increased tuition in-between
academic years as much as 35%. Over the past six years, MCL estimates that our tuition
policy has resulted in more than $750,000 in lower tuition costs for MCL students.
TUITION INSTALLMENT PROGRAM
Annual tuition and fees are due in full at the time of registration. For those students
in need of additional flexibility in paying their tuition and fees, MCL provides a
tuition installment program (“TIP”). Under the TIP program, students are allowed to
pay the annual amount due in monthly installments. Students wishing to use the TIP
program must notify the MCL Business Manager during Fall semester registration period.
