The Online Summer Session will allow both Loyola and non-Loyola JD students to gain key health law knowledge in a flexible online environment. For non-Loyola students this presents an opportunity to gain exposure to key health law areas which may not be taught at their home law school. Courses are taught by our experienced faculty, all of whom are dedicated to enhancing your practice-ready knowledge and skills. We invite you to join us to study health law online over the summer.

The Details

American Bar Association regulations allow JD students to earn up to fifteen credits online. Students must have completed 28 credit hours in order to enroll in online courses. Loyola University Chicago JD students have been approved to take courses during the Summer Online Session. Students from other schools are advised to first consult with their law school to obtain permission to take online courses through Loyola. Each non-Loyola student must apply as a summer visiting student, which requires obtaining a letter from their home law school granting them permission to take courses at Loyola University Chicago.

Please note that online courses will be offered for the Summer 2015 term only. Loyola does not plan to offer online courses to JD students during the traditional fall and spring academic terms.

Please contact health-law@luc.edu with all questions about the Summer Online Session. Academic advising for this term is available upon request.

The Process

Register as indicated below for the Online Summer Session. Official enrollment will take place in spring 2015.

• Loyola students may register for approved online summer courses in LOCUS when summer 2015 registration begins. No other approval is needed. All summer online coursework in health will count toward the JD Health Law Certificate.
• Non-Loyola students must complete a visiting student application for the Online Summer Session. The application can be found here. Please note that this must be accompanied by a letter of permission to take online courses. The visiting student application deadline is April 1, 2015. Once visiting applications are approved, visiting students will be enrolled in their course(s) of choice.

The Costs

Tuition for the Online Summer Session is $1,410 per credit hour. Additional student fees may apply.

Enrolling in Loyola University Chicago s Online Summer Session does not confer visiting or transfer status on any non-Loyola student. Participating in online summer courses will not provide non-Loyola students with any advantages in the transfer or visiting admissions process. Non-Loyola students may seek to count these credits toward their JD degrees but will still earn their degrees from their home institutions.

Each state has different rules for admission to the bar. Students should consult with each jurisdiction in which they intend to practice to ensure that completion of online courses qualify for bar admission.
