The Schedule of Classes should give you enough information to make decisions about your coursework for the entire year. You should plan on enrolling in at least 12 – but no more than 16 – units per semester. A total of 87 units is required for graduation; we will award you as many semester hours as you earned at your prior school (our continuing students earned 33). If you have not yet taken a course offered in our first year curriculum, such as Constitutional Law, you will need to take that (we offer multiple sections of Constitutional Law I every spring semester). The only upper division requirements are a course in Professional Responsibility and an upper division Substantial Analytic Writing requirement.

Transfer students should consult with the Records Office when enrolling in fall courses. If you are unable to enroll in classes on your own on URSA, please download and complete the Transfer Student Enrollment Form with your course preferences and submit it to the Records Office. We cannot guarantee that all the courses you wish to take will be available to you, so please list additional courses in order of your preference. Students on the waitlist move into the class automatically, in waitlist order, not by lobbying the professor. Choose your exam schedule wisely; exams clustered on consecutive days will not be moved. Students with two exams scheduled on the same day may consult with the Assistant Dean for Students about the possibility of postponing one of those exams to the following day. When completed, it should be dropped off or faxed to Doug Myers at the Records Office (310-206-7763).

In order for Records to enroll a student, s/he must appear in our computers as an admitted student. This will require both the Law Admissions Office and the campus Registrar’s Office to process the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) and Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) forms. This is why it is so important to submit the SIR and SLR forms as soon as possible. When you receive your formal admission letter from the Law Admissions Office, please give it your immediate attention.
