(WINTER TERM – January 6 – January 14, 2025)
The law school offers a Winter Term in conjunction with the Spring 2025 Semester and all Winter Term courses will be held remotely, except as otherwise noted. Credits earned over Winter Term are considered part of the Spring 2025 semester and Winter Term tuition will be billed at the same time Spring 2025 tuition is billed. Registration for Winter Term opens at the same time as Spring 2025 registration. Students must include the credits in which they intend to enroll during Winter Term in their Spring 2025 semester course load calculations. Reminder: part-time students may be enrolled in a maximum of 12 credits for the Winter Term/Spring Semester combined, and full-time students may be enrolled in a maximum of 17 credits.
This year, no Winter Term offerings are open to first-year students.
All winter courses count as Distance Education.
For planning purposes, students should expect to complete 20-30 hours of work outside class for each credit in a Winter Term course. There will be assigned reading prior to the first class for all courses. Please consult the course syllabi, once posted, for this and the other course requirements. All courses will be graded CR/NC (except as noted below) and will be considered in-class credits under Academic Regulation 3-3.1.
