Start Date The Start Date list box determines the month, day, and year the setting becomes active.
Start Time The Start Time list box determines the time of the day the setting becomes active.

EFT Option The EFT Option read-only field shows whether an EFT payment for fees collected by LSAC is enabled. Please contact Law Admission Services if you have questions about the EFT.

Each fees and signature setting must have a unique start date. If you add multiple settings, the end date is the start date of the next sequential setting. Fees and signature settings appear in a list grid that you can organize by sorting, filtering, and grouping columns. You can also export the list of settings to an .XLSX file or .PDF file. The steps for configuring a fees and signature setting differ depending on whether you want to add, edit, or delete the setting.
