Graduation Planning Rules
All 1L students are auto-enrolled in their courses, as are 2L Blended and 2L Part-Time Evening students. After this auto-enroll period, students can plan for the remainder of their J.D. on their own or with the help of their Academic Advisor. Rules and tips for graduation planning can be found in the relevant links below. Note that even if students want to plan their J.D. path on their own, it is recommended that they still check in periodically with their Advisor.

Students should be sure to select the graduation planner for the appropriate year of matriculation and program, otherwise total credit calculations may be incorrect.
