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 Summer Session. No student
who is registered for 6 credits or more in 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 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.
