FAQs

Each incoming blended learning cohort is divided into three sections: B1, B2, and B3. You were assigned a section upon admission, please check your admission letter for your specific section or email academicaffairs@mitchellhamline.edu to confirm.

Your assigned academic advisor is listed on Starfish under “My Connections” or in “My Network.” You can make an appointment with your advisor there. Incoming 1Ls might not yet be assigned to an advisor and will be assigned one prior to the first day of class.

All dates are listed on the academic calendar. Look under the “Blended Part-Time” column, then your specific section to find the associated dates.

Speak to your academic advisor for more information.

Besides courses that fulfill your JD requirements and any additional requirements like academic support courses, classes can be chosen based on other factors such as certificate requirements, interest in a particular area of the law, or courses that cover bar-tested subjects. Your academic advisor is a great resource for course selection and planning, and the Degree Planning Resources page on the Academic Affairs website can help you plan your academic path.

Blended students should submit an externship proposal, which can be found under the “Externship Proposal” section on the student records page. After proposals are reviewed and approved, students are enrolled in the appropriate externship course. In general, Blended students do not enroll themselves in externship courses since those are local and require on-campus time. There are a few exceptions that are remote, and these are available to Blended students.

On-campus students are assigned a section in their 1L year based on their schedules. Part-time evening students are in section 1, morning students are in section 2, and afternoon students are in section 3. You can also check your admission letter for your specific section or email academicaffairs@mitchellhamline.edu to confirm.
