Bar Exam Review Fee
Beginning in the fall semester of 2010, all students enrolled in J.D. courses will pay a bar exam review fee of $25 per credit hour. This fee is essentially a savings plan that will cover most, if not all, of the cost of a commercial bar review course.
If you have questions regarding the Bar Exam Review Fee, please contact Assistant Dean Lauri S. Thorpe at LThorpe@uakron.edu or College Programs Specialist Liz Sauders at liz@uakron.edu.
