Full-time
The Law School requires all full-time students to register for a minimum of 12 credits per semester to maintain full-time student status. All students need permission to register for fewer than (or to drop below) 12 credits in a semester, or to register for more than 15 credits in a semester. Please note that approval to register for more than 15 credits will result in additional tuition charges (that may not be refundable). If a student is approved for less than 12 credits in a semester, a full-time equivalency will be placed on the student's record, and the student will be responsible for full-time tuition. Please consult with the Office of Financial Services for any billing questions.
It is especially important for international students to note that in accordance with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), all international students must be registered for the full-time program by September 3 for fall 2008 and January 18 for spring 2009.
Please be aware that credits in excess of 30 for the academic year will result in additional charges.
You must obtain approval from the Office of Graduate Affairs for any exception before you select courses (via the Credit Load Permission form).
