The School of Law registers its students using a web registration system. In order
to ensure maximum course selection during each student's career, students register
by class, with fourth year students having first priority in the Weekend Division,
and third year students having priority in the Day Division. JD students receive priority
to enroll in all classes that are part of the JD curriculum.
Each semester, a student will receive a registration handbook for the following semester.
For Winter and Spring registration, materials will be distributed in November; for
Fall registration, materials will be available in April. Students must then follow
the registration dates listed for their year and division.
Summer Session registration is conducted similarly to Fall registration and Spring registration except that students interested in enrolling in summer courses at the law school
must obtain a Summer Session handbook from the Registrar's Office. Such handbooks
are available late March or early April. Priority in course selection will be given
to that academic year's graduating class.
Course Registration Information and Procedures
- Students with outstanding tuition balances from a prior semester will be ineligible
to register.
- All students registering for full-year courses are required to remain with the same
professor during the second semester.
- All students must register for required courses in the semester in which they are
scheduled to be taken within the students' division, unless they receive written permission
from the Dean of Students to defer a requirement. A student who does not receive written
permission from the Dean of Students and does not register for a required course in
the semester scheduled for his year and division will lose priority to register for
the course the next time it is offered. Such students must wait until the class that
is scheduled to take the required course registers for the course to determine course
and section availability.
- Students will receive priority for courses within their division. Weekend students
must register for weekend courses. However, a limited number of seats are available
to weekend students in many day courses.
- Day students must register for the majority of their courses within their division.
