Registration Matters
Required Courses
Students must register for required courses in the section (day or evening) in which they are currently enrolled. Students who register in the wrong section will be removed from the class by the Registrar. Students must register for all required courses in the semester in which each such course is required to be taken.
Students who do not successfully complete a required course must repeat that course no later than during the fall or spring semester in which it is next offered.
Please visit the Curriculum Guidelines section for a listing of and more information about the required courses.
Registration for Courses
It is the responsibility of each student to register properly for his/her courses each semester. Procedures and scheduled times for registration must be followed in all cases. No academic credit can be given for courses for which students have not properly registered.
No full-time division student may register for more than 16 credit house per semester, and no part-time division student may register for more than 12 credit hours per semester, without first receiving permission from the associate dean for student affairs. No student may register for courses scheduled to meet at the same time.
Repeating Failed Courses
Students who do not successfully complete a required course must repeat that course no later than during the fall or spring semester in which it is next offered.
Withdrawal from Courses
Students normally may withdraw from a course within the first two weeks of the semester or the first week of the summer session. A course may not be added after the first week of a term. A status of "EC" (erase course) is assigned for withdrawal in the first week; the course will not appear on the student's transcript. A grade of "W" (withdrawal) is given for withdrawal during the second week of the semester; this grade will appear on the student's transcript but will have no effect on the student's grade point average. Thereafter, a grade of "WF" (withdrawal failing) will be recorded for students who withdraw from a class; that grade will appear on the student's transcript and is considered for all purposes as an "F."
Students should consult the official School of Law calendar to determine deadlines for withdrawals and changes in registration. In order to withdraw from a course, a student must cancel her/his registration through Touch Tone Registration or QuikCHEK during the period for withdrawals. After that, the student must complete and sign a withdrawal form and have it signed by the registrar. A grade will be awarded in all courses for which a student is registered. When a student has not properly withdrawn from a course prior to the appropriate deadline, a grade of "WF" (withdrawal failing) will be recorded.
