Summer 2026 Registration<\/h1>\n

Summer 2026 courses will be offered in the following formats:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blended (B): Courses are offered in a blended format\u20141\/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.<\/li>\n
  2. On-Campus (#): These are courses that we intend to offer entirely in person.\u00a0 There is no remote option.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t participate in person, you cannot register for the On-Campus courses.<\/li>\n
  3. HyFlex: These are courses that will have some mix of on-campus and remote participation with regular class meeting times.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/li>\n
  4. Remote and synchronous (RS): These are synchronous courses that are fully remote (through Zoom) with regular class meeting times.\u00a0 Students must be able to participate in all class meetings.\u00a0 These courses count as distance education courses.<\/li>\n
  5. Online (O): These are asynchronous, fully online courses that count as distance education courses.\u00a0 There are no set meeting times but there are regular assignments and optional office hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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 \u201cdistance education courses.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

    Some things to know before registering for Summer:<\/h4>\n

    Students may add until one-day prior to the first day of the subterm in which the course is offered (A, B), 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. Students may drop through the first day of the subterm in which the course is offered (A, B). Students who withdraw after the drop deadline of the subterm in which the course is offered will owe full tuition and receive a “W” on their transcript.<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Credit Limit<\/h4>\n

    There is a 10 credit limit for summer. 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<\/a> online.<\/p>\n
