You must pick up a law course approval form for non-law graduate students and have it signed by your dean/advisor before seeking approval in the law school. Forms are available in the Student Affairs Office. The approved form must be on file in the Student Affairs Office prior to registration in a law school course.Non-Law Graduate Students
- Non-law graduate students may request approval to take a course after early registration is completed in the School of Law.
- No first-year law course may be taken by a non-law graduate student.
- The grade from a law course will not be available until several weeks after the semester's end. A non-law graduate student should not register for a law course if the grade is needed for graduation the same semester.
- Law school grades are often C's and D's, even though a student may have worked hard and, under law school standards, been successful. Graduate students should have a clear understanding with their own schools on how the grade will be recorded. The Law School does not offer a pass-fail option; however, non-law graduate students may request special permission to take a law school course on a pass-fail basis by obtaining approval from their Dean or Advisor.
