• For students from law schools other than Gonzaga, their law school must have a signed consortium agreement with Gonzaga.
• Gonzaga students holding merit or other tuition-based scholarships cannot apply those scholarships to the Florence Summer Law Program.

• Deadlines will not be extended.

Cancellation Policy

• Gonzaga reserves the right to alter or cancel the Florence Summer Law Program.
• Cancellation could occur if the program does not meet a minimum enrollment of 45 students by April 1 of the year applied for.

• If the program is canceled, students will be notified in writing of that decision as soon as possible.
• In the unlikely event the program is canceled, all payments to Gonzaga made by students in connection with the program will be refunded.
