Registration
All students are expected to present themselves for registration in accordance with the registration procedures established for the current term as recorded in the Law Center Academic Calendar.
Registration after the official period in the calendar and schedule shall be by special permission granted by the Chancellor. A student seeking to register after the official period designated for registration will be charged a late fee of $100. The deadline for enrolling in the Law Center for the fall and spring semesters shall be the sixth day of instruction. The Administration is committed to this policy and will enforce it strictly.
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that he or she is properly registered. No credit will be given for any course in which a student is not officially registered, even though the student may have attended class and taken the exam. Furthermore, a failing grade of “F” will be recorded for any student who has not officially dropped a course, even though the student did not attend class and did not take the exam.
A student will be permitted to attend class only after completion of official registration.
Southern University Law Center is committed to offering its students the benefit of a rigorous, traditional legal education. At the same time, the faculty and administration are attentive to developing trends in legal education.
The Law Center constantly strives to design its curriculum so that graduates will be well prepared to meet the demands of a challenging legal profession now and into the future. As a result, changes in the curriculum may be required before the publication of the next Law Center catalog.
New courses are added to the curriculum periodically to meet the needs of students and the Law Center. All required courses must be satisfactorily completed for graduation. Any student who receives a grade of “F” in a required course must repeat the course. Beginning with classes entering in the fall of 2016, students who earn the grade of “D” or “D-” in a required course and who have a cumulative grade point average lower than 2.5 at the end of the prior semester must repeat the course.
The Law Center provides both four-year, part-time day and part-time evening programs to accommodate students who wish to pursue the study of law but cannot attend school on a full-time basis. Part-time day students attend classes with traditional full-time students. Part-time evening students attend courses during evenings and some Saturdays.
The Law Center maintains the Academic Calendar for the current year, as well as, for some previous years on the SULC Website at https://www.sulc.edu/page/academic-calendar.
