Instructions for Non-Law Students Wishing to Register for a Law CourseLaw School courses are open only to students enrolled as FULL-TIME Columbia University graduate degree candidates. Full-time graduate degree candidates may take up to 2 (two) Law courses per term but not more than 4 (four) Law courses during their entire Columbia course of study. JD and LLM foundation courses, legal writing, research, clinical, and externship offerings are NOT open to non-Law students. REGISTRATION AS AN AUDITOR IS NOT PERMITTED FOR ANY LAW COURSE and INFORMAL AUDITING FOR MORE THAN ONE OR TWO CLASS SESSION IS NOT ALLOWED. NOTE: The policies of the host school apply for all cross-registrations, so if you are considering taking a Law course, please check carefully the Law School s policies, including registration (adding and dropping courses), exams, and submission of written work. The Law School s Office of Registration Services will accept -15 applications for cross-registration as follows:
Requests for registration in Law courses will be processed during the Law School Change of Program period (August 25-September 9 for Fall ; January 12-27 for Spring 2015) and students will be notified by e-mail of the Law School s decision on their request. All applications require the Instructor s signature, but the Instructor s approval does not guarantee a seat in the course since admission is based on seat availability and eligibility criteria, and priority for admission to a Law course will be given to Law students. Note that enrollment in Law School seminars is capped at 18 or fewer students. Decisions and processing of all cross-registration applications will be made on a first-come-first-serve basis. Process for Cross-registering Cross-Registrants can register for a maximum of two (2) Law courses per term and no more than four (4) Law courses during their entire Columbia course of study.
Approved applications: Approved applicants will be registered for the course at the Law School and will receive a copy of their original Cross-Registration Application and proof of their registration in the Law class. These forms must be submitted to the student s degree-granting division and/or official to complete the final registration process with the University (i.e. in the SIS database). Students who cross-register for Law courses will be given access to Lawnet and to the course web page, usually within two (2) business days of their registration. Dropping a Law course: Students wishing to drop a Law class must notify the Law School s Office of Registration Services and their home division in order to complete the drop. Drops initiated at the student s home division or in the University s Student Services Office will not be honored by the Law School, and in such cases students risk receiving the grade of F (failure) for the Law course. The notation of W (withdrawal) will be recorded for withdrawals between September 10 and October 15 in the Fall term, and between January 28 and February 15 in the Spring 2015 term. The grade of F (failure) will be recorded for withdrawals after October 15 in the Fall term, and after February 15 in the Spring 2015 term. Exam Courses: All students are expected to take Law exams as scheduled, and failure to complete an exam will result in an automatic grade of F. Grades in Law Offerings: Only letter grades are available for Law courses: A, B, (both with plus and minus) C, and F; there is no Pass/Fail grading option.
