*Prospective students and current students are responsible for verification of tuition costs and fees prior to registration. Tuition and fees are the same for residents and nonresidents. The tuition and fees amount listed are based on 11 credits for spring and fall semesters and five (5) credits for the summer semester for the core curricular plan. The maximum credit hours for any semester is 11. The ASU Tuition Estimator notes a fall start, which is incorrect. The first semester for the JD part-time and online is the spring term.

Applying to Graduate vs. registering for a ceremony
Applying for graduation and registering to attend in-person graduation ceremonies are separate but related issues. Applying and paying your graduation fee ensures that your degree will be processed after coursework is complete and certification of your degree is issued. Registering for attendance at ceremonies ensures that seating will be made available for you and your guests for the event(s) you will attend. It also ensures tickets will be reserved for those events that require tickets.
Ticket information
The quantity of tickets allotted to each participating student varies depending on the ceremony. Those participating in the JD/LLM ceremony will receive fifteen (15) tickets each, those participating in the MSLB ceremony will receive ten (10) tickets each and those participating in the MLS/MHREL ceremony will receive ten (10) tickets each. Tickets can be downloaded through Marching Order. No physical tickets are provided. Additional tickets can be requested via email to be placed in a lottery for extra tickets. Extra tickets will be given after April 7, 2025.
