Summer 2025 Registration

Summer 2025 courses will be offered in the following formats:

1. On-Campus (#): These are courses that we intend to offer entirely in person.  There is no remote option.  If you can’t participate in person, you cannot register for the On-Campus courses.
2. HyFlex: These are courses that will have some mix of on-campus and remote participation with regular class meeting times.  You can choose whether to participate in these classes entirely remotely or to participate on-campus to the extent possible. There will be two cross-listed sections, fully remote and on-campus.  Register for the remote section (HR) to participate remotely, and in the in-person section (HC) to attend on-campus. Participating remotely in this option does count as distance education courses. Participating in-person in this option counts as in-person courses.
3. Remote and synchronous (RS): These are synchronous courses that are fully remote (through Zoom) with regular class meeting times.  Students must be able to participate in all class meetings.  These courses count as distance education courses.
4. Online (O): These are asynchronous, fully online courses that count as distance education courses.  There are no set meeting times but there are regular assignments and optional office hours.

Students may take up to 43 credits under the 86 credit requirement (41 under the 83 credit requirement) toward their J.D. degree through courses that are designated “distance education courses.” A distance education course is one in which students are separated from all faculty members for more than one-third of the instruction and the instruction involves the use of technology to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and all faculty members, either synchronously or asynchronously. Source: ABA Standards Definition (7) and 306.

Some things to know before registering for Summer:

Students will be able to add online through the add deadline for each session (A, B, C, D) and drop online through May 21, regardless of session. After May 21, students may drop up to one-day prior to the first day of the session in which the course is offered (A, B, C, or D), regardless of the first meeting day of the course, by completing a Request to Add/Withdraw form and submitting it to the Office of the Registrar. Students who drop after May 21 and up to one-day prior to the first day of the session in which the course is offered (A, B, C, or D) will incur a $150 per credit penalty for each course dropped. Students may not drop or add after the start of the session in which course is offered. Students who withdraw after the start of the session in which the course is offered will owe full tuition and receive a “W” on their transcript.

Students may add until one-day prior to the first day of the session in which the course is offered (A, B, C, D), regardless of the first day 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/Withdrawal request will not override holds, time conflicts, or credit maximums. Be sure you are able to take the course before submitting the form. The drop fee applies even if you are dropping one course to add a different course that you prefer to take. The Office of the Registrar cannot waive the drop fee.

The drop fee only applies to dropped courses after May 21. Wait list seats are not registrations, therefore, the drop fee does not apply when you drop yourself from a wait list.

Credit Limit

There is an 8 credit limit for summer. Students may register for between 9 and 10 credits (between 9 and 12 credits for a full-time residency) in the summer semester with advance permission from the Vice Dean, Academic and Faculty Affairs. No student may register for more than 10 credits in the summer unless the student is doing a full-time summer residency. A student doing a full-time summer residency may register for up to 12 credits for the residency with the advance permission of both the Externship Director and the Vice Dean, though the final decision rests with the Vice Dean. You can find the summer overload request form online. Do not register for more than 8 credits without first receiving permission—if you do so, you will be dropped from all summer courses. Approval to register for an overload does not guarantee seats in your selected courses, you must still register for them online when your registration time opens.

Fall 2025

Fall 2025 courses will be offered in the following formats:

1. Blended (B): Courses are offered in a blended format—1/3 online and 2/3 in person. Students come to campus once or twice a semester (depending where they are in their program) and spend the rest of each semester off campus, completing coursework online.
2. On-Campus (#): These are courses that we intend to offer entirely in person.  There is no remote option.  If you can’t participate in person, you cannot register for the On-Campus courses.
3. HyFlex: These are courses that will have some mix of on-campus and remote participation with regular class meeting times.  You can choose whether to participate in these classes entirely remotely or to participate on-campus to the extent possible. There will be two cross-listed sections, fully remote and on-campus.  Register for the remote section (HR) to participate remotely, and in the in-person section (HC) to attend on-campus. Participating remotely in this option does count as distance education courses. Participating in-person in this option counts as in-person courses.

5. Online (O): These are asynchronous, fully online courses that count as distance education courses.  There are no set meeting times but there are regular assignments and optional office hours.
