While enrolled in the law school, students may apply to the Committee on Academic Petitions for permission to take courses at other law schools or graduate schools, including summer sessions. Students are advised that credit is not granted for graduate course work completed prior to entering Rutgers' School of Law-Camden.

Under an agreement with Temple University Law School, students may cross-register for up to three courses during their law school career, while paying tuition to Rutgers, as if the Temple course were offered at Rutgers, as long as the course is not available at Rutgers. Special materials on the cross-registration program describe this option in detail and are available from the associate dean for academic affairs.
