The Law School reserves the right to cancel any course. Students will be notified by phone or e-mail in the event a course is cancelled.

Students are responsible for checking course pre/co-requisites.

A student is permitted to withdraw from a course up until the day of the scheduled examination, or if self- scheduled, the last day of examinations. In the case of a seminar, a student may withdraw up to the day in which the paper is due. However, no student may attempt more than 98 credits of academic work, including retaken courses. A course from which a student withdraws with the approval of the Dean of Students does not count as an attempted course. Notwithstanding the above, any student who is involuntarily withdrawn or who withdraws, with or without approval, from more than 20 credits will be automatically dismissed.

Students seeking to withdraw from one course while retaining another after the Drop/Add period must file a Course Withdrawal Form with the Office of Enrollment Services. A student withdrawing from any course, including externships, journals, clinics, moot court or Independent Research will receive a grade of "WD" (Withdrawal).

A student is not permitted to register for more than six credits (includes externships and intersession courses) during the summer session.

The Drop/Add period starts on Saturday, April 5 until Tuesday, June 3. No student will receive academic credit for any course(s) that he or she is not officially registered for by 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, June 3. Students are entitled to a full refund of tuition for courses dropped within the Drop/Add period.

Only one course of each set of courses listed below may be used towards graduation requirements:

SET 1
Negotiation Skills: Civil Litigation (PRMD9234) or Advanced Negotiation Skills (PRMD9226) or Negotiation Skills: Criminal Litigation (PRMD9236)

All law students are limited to 15 credits of distance learning courses that can be used towards their law degree. Distance learning courses are indicated in the registration handbook and can be synchronous or asynchronous.

There are several types of holds which may affect your registration status, namely: bursar, academic, transcript, health services and financial aid. Prior to registration, it is strongly recommended that you go online to check if you have any type of hold on your account. If one does exist, you should contact the appropriate department to resolve the hold.

You must resolve any unpaid balance with the Bursar's Office before registering. Financial holds are automatically placed on your account regardless of the amount due. In addition, all monies must be received before your registration date, regardless of the source from which the tuition is being paid. If you have a current balance, you will be blocked from registering for courses and will be referred to the Bursar's Office. This will result in having to restart the registration process (if cleared by the Bursar to register) and will lower your chances of enrolling in your desired course(s).

Weekend students may register to attend weekday classes remotely if the class is listed as “Weekend Remote Option.” Unless otherwise stated, a maximum of 20% of enrolled students can attend the class remotely. Any course attended remotely counts towards the 15-credit maximum for online/remote classes. To apply to take a course that is being offered with this option, you must submit the Remote Attendance Form at least two weeks before the start of the semester, or within 2 days of registering for the course, whichever is later. The Weekend Director will notify you if you have been approved for remote attendance. Please note that any class taken in the weekday program follows the weekday academic calendar, including semester breaks, start/ending dates, and, most importantly, exam schedules.
