Academic Policies and Procedures

Our policies & procedures provide law students with critical information regarding graduation requirements, curricular guidelines, and academic integrity.  The School of Law's General Academic Requirements, Policies and Code of Student Conduct ("GARP"), serves as the primary source of information regarding the academic requirements and standards applicable to all J.D., LL.M. and J.S.D. students  during their law school career.  

The General Academic Requirements, Policies, and Code of Student Conduct (GARP) and related policies and procedures can be found on the left-hand menu.
