BUDGETS
The Budget and Expenses – Cost of Attendance chart below is used to determine financial need and is designed to provide students with a modest but realistic standard of living; it reflects the average education-related costs of attending Southwestern. If individual living expenses exceed the average living expenses, students should consider completing the Budget Increase Application. This may allow an increase in a student’s overall budget and change financial aid eligibility with the appropriate documentation. Visit
www.swlaw.edu/studentservices/finaid/tuition for more information.
Students with Disabilities Extra costs that students with disabilities may incur while pursuing legal studies are considered when determining financial need. Federal and state programs may provide additional resources.

STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
Southwestern is committed to providing an environment that fosters academic excellence and personal success. An important aspect of that mission is ensuring students’ physical and mental well-being. In furtherance of this goal, the law school now requires that all students entering during or after Summer 2009 have basic health insurance coverage. Every student will be enrolled in the Kaiser Student Health Insurance Plan available through Southwestern unless they complete the waiver process by providing proof of insurance. More information about the Plan and the online waiver application are available online at
www.swlaw.edu/healthinsurance.
