Petition to Take a Non-Law School Course for Credit

JD students may, in their second and third years, take work in other departments and schools of the University for credit in the Law School. Such work may be counted for no more than 12 course hours toward the J.D. degree. Each student must receive advance permission to register. LL.M. students may take non-Law School courses only in addition to the 27 hours of Law School course credit needed to fulfill their degree requirements. Prior to registering for a non-law school course a student should check with the department or professor to determine if there are any limitations or prerequisites for the course (i.e., some professors will not offer a pass/fail option, need for professor’s permission). With the permission of the professor you may have your grade sent to the University Registrar as either pass/fail or as a letter grade.
