Attendance at Lectures To qualify for the residence credit required for graduation and to be eligible to take most state bar examinations, students must have been in regular attendance during their time in the Law School.
Regular attendance is defined as attending a minimum of eighty percent of class sessions.
However, instructors have the authority to determine a higher standard of regular attendance for their classes. Absences from class are not authorized. A student may resign from, change, or add courses during a designated period at the beginning of a semester. Thereafter, a student may resign from a course only with the permission of the assistant dean for academic services. Permission will be granted only for good cause, such as illness or other adverse circumstances beyond a student's control and, in the case of seminars, small courses, and independent research, only after consultation with the instructor teaching the course.
