The Law School believes that some students may benefit by taking courses offered in departments other than the Law School. Such courses may be taken in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. The course offered outside the law school must be one offered at the graduate or professional level and must enhance the student’s legal education.
2. The instructor and department for the course must agree to the participation of the law student before the student may register for the course.
3. The law student transcript will reflect that the student took the course and that the student passed or failed. No grade will be recorded. A passing grade is a grade of at least a AB.@
4. The law student must not be on probation.
5. The law student may apply up to six hours of credit toward the J.D. under this policy.
6. The law student must submit to the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs the official description of the course along with a written statement describing why the student believes the course would benefit him/her.
7. The law student must obtain the approval of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs before the student may register for the course. The administration of the law school may exercise its discretion in determining the propriety of the course for the law student’s course of study.
8. This policy does not apply to the law student who is participating in a joint degree program. Such a student may not use this policy to take courses offered by other departments and which would be in addition to the courses required as part of the joint degree program.
