No student is admitted or allowed to continue as a full-time student who does not devote substantially his or her full working time to law school studies. No full-time student may be employed for more than 15 hours a week.
The minimum and maximum numbers of credits carried by full-time students are:
1. never more than a total of 17 course (course, seminar, and senior research) and noncourse (clinic, law journal, moot court, teaching assistantship) credits combined,
2. never more than 16 hours of course credits,
3. never fewer than 12 course and noncourse credits combined.
When a course or other credit program extends over two terms, half of the credit is allocated to each term for the purpose of compliance with these rules.
A course load of 6 credits is considered equivalent to full-time status during the summer session. No student who is registered for 6 credits or more in the summer session may be employed in excess of 15 hours each week.
Any student who simultaneously registers as a full-time student and who is employed in excess of 15 hours each week may have residence credit for that term reduced to three-fourths of a residence credit and may be dropped without consent from a course or courses representing a sufficient number of credits to bring his or her schedule to below 12 credit hours.
