Curriculum

During the first week of classes each semester, students may drop or add most non-required courses without academic penalty, subject to requirements outlined in the previous section. From the end of the first week to the first day of preregistration for the following semester, a student may drop a course only with permission of the Dean. After the first day of preregistration for the following semester, a student may not, except in very unusual circumstances, drop a course for the present semester. In those unusual circumstances, students may receive the grade of “W” (withdrawn) or an “F”. An administrative fee is charged for each drop or add.

Students may not withdraw from seminars and certain limited-enrollment classes after a ten-day period from the last day of preregistration, unless unusual circumstances exist. Any drop will normally be recorded as “F.” Limited-enrollment classes include seminars and other classes designated by the Dean of the Law School.
