Allowance for Cost of Computer

Students may request the cost of a computer be added to the cost of attendance. The addition of this cost may occur only once during the student's course of study/academic career at Washburn University. The request must be supported by written documentation of cost, such as a copy of a contract with a vendor or bill of sale showing payment for the computer. The adjustment will be documented in the student's file. Contact the Financial Aid Office at 800-524-8447 for more information.

Computer Labs at Washburn Law

Most students own a laptop. One lab, with 14 computers, is available at Washburn Law. Learn more about the computer lab.
