Some things to know before registering for J-Term:

  • The last day to add or drop J-Term courses online is December 15, 2019.
  • After December 15, students may still drop until the start of the course by completing a Request to Add/Withdraw Classes form and submitting it to the Office of the Registrar. Students who drop after December 15 and before the start of class will incur a $150 per credit penalty.
  • Students may add until the start of the course using an Add/Withdraw form, space permitting, and if the student could reasonably complete any first-day assignments by the start of the course.
  • Please note that the Add/Withdraw request will not override holds, time conflicts, or credit maximums. Be sure you are able to take the course before submitting the form. Even if you add a class after December 15, you will owe the drop fee if you drop it.
  • Students may not drop or add after the start of the course.
  • Students who withdraw after the start of the course will owe full tuition.

Due to ABA standards and federal credit hour regulations: during J-Term, students may register for no more than 3 credits. Students who exceed this limit will be dropped from all courses.

The ABA restriction that students may not enroll in online courses until that student has completed 28 credit hours toward the J.D. degree has been lifted. You may register for online courses even if you have not completed 28 credits. You may not count more than 27 online credits toward your JD.

Pay attention to the term dates! Day/Evening, Weekend, Blended Weekend, Hybrid, and EJD have different term dates.

You must comply with the add/drop deadline for each course you register for.
