The first-year curriculum for full-time students consist of prescribed courses that must be completed in the first year of study. During the second and third years of study, students are permitted to take elective courses.

Courses are not available for auditing by persons not enrolled in the Law Center.  The course schedule for full-time students is designed to require the full working time of the student. Full-time students desiring to engage in personal employment must submit an accurate statement concerning the nature and extent of employment to the Chancellor for approval. If the Chancellor’s approval for employment is given, the student may be required to lengthen his period of residence. In no instance will a full-time student’s program be scheduled to permit less than twelve hours of classroom work per week.

Additionally, in no instance will a full-time student be authorized to engage in any employment exceeding 20 hours per week. Any full-time student found to be working more than 20 hours per week will be subject to appropriate disciplinary proceedings, which may include dismissal.
