Students may have a hold placed on their account due to missing immunizations or an unsettled student balance. Any holds on a student鈥檚 record will block course registration for that student. The student should contact the appropriate department to resolve the hold before proceeding.
Some courses offer additional credits, usually to account for the writing of a substantial analytical paper. To take a course with the higher credit option, complete the following steps:
- Register for the course.
- Email the course instructor requesting to take their class with a higher credit option.
- Complete the听Registration Change听form and upload a copy of the course instructor鈥檚 reply indicating their approval.听Submit the form.听
- Student & Academic Services will review and process your request.
You may drop classes after the drop/add period, provided your course load does not drop below the credit minimum (outlined听below). However, this may result in the receipt of a 鈥淲鈥� (withdrawn) on your transcript. You may only add a class after drop/add with permission from both the professor and the Dean for Academic Affairs.
Upper-level law students may elect to take up to 7 credits, in no more than two classes, as Pass/Fail in lieu of a letter grade. To register for the Pass/Fail option, students must determine that the course is eligible (see list on the听Course Selection page) and elect that option in EagleApps prior to the pass/fail deadline. Note that courses that are automatically pass/fail, such as some experiential learning courses, do not count against your sevin credit/two course maximum. A course being used to fulfill the ABA upper-level writing requirement may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
Students may audit a class with the permission of the professor. Note that the audited course will be included on your transcript. The process to audit a course is as follows:
- Email the course instructor requesting their permission to audit the course.
- Complete the听Registration Change听form听and upload a copy of the course instructor鈥檚 reply indicating their approval. Submit the form.
