* Upper Level Required Courses (18 credits): Business Organizations, Commercial Law, Evidence, Family Law, Professional Responsibility, Trusts and Estates. Upper-level students who have not yet completed upper-level required core courses must do so at the earliest possible opportunity.
|
A student must take required first-year and upper-level core courses, before registering for electives. By registering for electives, a student represents to the College that they completed, or is concurrently registered in, all remaining required core courses. Upper-level students who have not yet completed upper-level required core courses must do so at the earliest possible opportunity.
A student may enroll in a course for credit only after they complete all prerequisites for that course; however, a particular prerequisite may be waived for good cause by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, after consulting with the course professor.
(2) Adjusting the Course Sequence. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs has discretion to grant a Juris Doctor student who is still in the required curriculum permission to enroll in elective courses under the following circumstances:
a. The adjustment is necessary for a student in accordance with applicable law (e.g., the Americans with Disabilities Act) or other Jacksonville University policy or
b. the adjustment is deemed necessary for a student with unique circumstances caused by the fact that the student has
i. transferred into the College of Law from another law school,
ii. been granted permission to withdraw from one or more required courses in a prior semester, or
iii. another extenuating circumstance that requires adjustment to afford the student an opportunity to complete the course-of-study in a timely manner.
In these circumstances, the student should complete the required curriculum as soon as feasible, which typically means the student should take any remaining required course the next fall or spring semester it is offered. Any adjustment under this subsection must be in writing signed by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the student.
