It's what you need to know!
All students planning to graduate at the end of the spring 2012 semester must complete a graduation application no later than Tuesday, November 1. Late applicants will need to obtain their dean’s permission and pay the $100 late fee.
Law students must apply for graduation through ZipLine. Step-by-step instructions are available on the Graduation Services website.
Questions may be emailed to the Office of the University Registrar.
To the Law School Student Body:
On Monday March 14, the university will make the fall schedule available for review by students, although students will not be able to begin registering until March 25. We understood that the release date would be March 21, a week later, but the university needs to release the schedule for New Student Orientation Week, and it cannot withhold our part of the schedule.
For various reasons related to the university’s new campus-wide class scheduling system, the law school’s ultimate schedule is certain to differ from the schedule that will appear on Monday. We will advise you when the schedule has been finalized.
Accordingly, you should ignore the law school fall class schedule as posted by the university until we tell you otherwise.
Thanks, and have a great Spring Break!
