A law student may take no more than sixteen credit hours per semester. In rare situations, the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs may, for good cause shown, permit a student to register for a maximum of seventeen hours. Law students may take courses in other schools and colleges only with the express prior permission of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. Normally, a student may not take a course in another school or college, except an ROTC course, in addition to the maximum load in the law school.
During a long term, a minimum load of ten credit hours is required of all students with twenty hours of credit or more; a minimum load of fourteen credit hours is required of all students with fewer than twenty hours of credit. A student may not take less than a minimum load without special permission of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
Law students are strongly advised that they should not work while in their first year and that they should not work more than fifteen hours a week while in their second and third years.
