Academic Oversight Course Selection

Students on Academic Oversight are in good standing. The Oversight program is intended to help you in several ways. For one, we are committed to working with you to ensure that you have a solid foundation for law practice and, in particular, to prepare you for the bar examination. Below, you will find guidance regarding your course selection. So long as your course selection meets the criteria set out below, you will be allowed to enroll in the courses of your choice. However, if your course selection does not meet these criteria, you are subject to being administratively dropped from certain courses and added to other courses deemed more appropriate. So, please be attentive to following the guidelines and, if in doubt, consult with your Academic Oversight advisor or Student Development Director.
