Please direct billing, tuition, and payment questions to the Business Office at studentaccounts@vermontlaw.edu.

Tuition bills are available in CampusWeb within a few days of registering for classes. Please note: a wait-listed seat is not equivalent to a registration. To access the bill, follow these steps:.

1. Log into CampusWeb
2. Click on the "Business Office" tab in the blue ribbon
3. Click on the "My Billing Information" in the grey rectangle on the left of the screen
4. Access the "Course and Fee Statement" under the CASHNet Online Payment tool header

You may also pay by check made payable to "Vermont Law and Graduate School".

You will not receive a paper copy of the bill, unless specifically requested – you will need to monitor your account online via CampusWeb.

Failure to receive a statement of account is not sufficient cause for extending payment due dates.

Tuition is due prior to the first day of class.

If tuition is not paid in full by the end of the term, you will not be able to sit for exams or register for future terms.

All students (degree seeking and non-degree seeking) who are enrolled in the Summer Session program are charged a non-refundable $205.00 Summer Student Administrative Fee.

Interest will accrue on your account at 12% per annum on all unpaid balances.

Transcripts will not be released to any student who has an outstanding balance with Vermont Law and Graduate School until the balance (and any applicable interest) is paid in full.

Please direct any questions about Financial Aid to the Financial Aid Office: finaid@vermontlaw.edu. Federal Student Aid is only available to students in degree-seeking programs. Students taking VLGS courses toward a degree at another institution should contact our Financial Aid Office.

Students wanting to borrow federal loan funding to cover their summer educational expenses must complete a 2023-2024 FAFSA and be enrolled in at least 3 credits counting towards their JD, master's, and/or LLM Degree.

Cost of living funding is available and calculated for students based on the total number of days they are enrolled during the summer semester.

The Refund Policy can be reviewed here.

If you are an online student or taking an online, asynchronous class, please contact the Online Enrollment Advisor, Genevieve Nichols.

In-person classes will have a location designated in CampusWeb – the location correlates to the building, class, and time that class meets. Check out the PDF of the Campus Map.

The Julien and Virginia Cornell Library

The Cornell Library is open throughout the summer, and students taking Summer Session courses can access the library’s resources in person at the library or online through the library’s website . You can visit the library 24/7 with a student ID, and library staff are available to assist students at the Information Desk every day from 8 am to 8 pm. Reference librarians are available from 8:30 am to 4 pm Monday–Friday to provide research assistance. You can stop by the library, call the library’s Information Desk (802-831-1441), or send an email to reference@vermontlaw.edu to contact a reference librarian. The library also has online research guides covering topics such as Vermont law, environmental law, and legislative history to assist with your research needs.

The library’s primary legal databases are Westlaw and Lexis+, and the library provides access to them and many other databases through its database research guide . Most databases can be accessed by using your VLGS login information, but to access Westlaw and Lexis+, you will need to set up accounts with those platforms. If you did not receive emails with the account setup information, please contact the Electronic Resources and Technology Librarian, Sarah Scully, for assistance.

Some professors at VLGS use TWEN as a course-management platform rather than Canvas. TWEN is accessed through Westlaw and can be used to review course materials and syllabi, view and submit online assignments and exams, and exchange messages with professors and classmates.

Canvas Online Learning Platform

Some residential classes use the Online Learning platform Canvas to deliver their course materials. Access to Canvas is part of your credentialing process, so you will use your VLS email address (the full address) and password to access your Dashboard. Once your professor has added you to the class, you will see the class in your Dashboard.

If you would like to participate in an Orientation to Canvas prior to starting your residential course, please contact the Online Enrollment Advisor, Genevieve Nichols.
