Semester Course Loads
The maximum number of hours that may be taken for law credit per semester is 16, unless prior permission to take more is obtained from one of the Deans.
The minimum load per semester to be considered a "full-time" law student by the Law School is 12 hours of work creditable toward the J.D. degree. All students (except those in their final year who need fewer to satisfy degree requirements) must take at least 12 hours toward the J.D. degree unless prior permission to take fewer is obtained from one of the Deans.
During the Summer term six to nine credit hours is considered full-time. Less than six credits hours is considered part-time.
