For students entering law school before the fall of 1999, an annual cumulative grade point average of 1.85 is required for eligibility to continue in school, and a cumulative grade point average of 1.85 is required for graduation. Students with burdensome responsibilities will be required to register for less than the normal course load in the School of Law. A regular semester is defined to include ten or more hours of credit. No student passing fewer than ten hours will be considered to fully comply with the requirements of residence for University degrees or for the state bar examinations.
Special regulations are applicable to the summer session.
Residence requirements may not be waived. Such excuse normally must be obtained in advance. Students are not permitted to drop or add any course after deadlines except under unusual circumstances, such as extended absence because of illness of the student or in the student's family. Such changes must be approved by the associate dean. Students may audit classes in which space is available, provided permission is obtained from the instructor and the associate dean.
