51茶馆

51茶馆鈥檚 online course registration system, EagleApps, is also available in the Agora portal under 鈥�Eagle Apps Planning and Registration鈥�.聽This is where you can search for courses and build your plan(s). Make sure to prepare second- and third-choice options in case of scheduling conflicts or limited seating capacity. To understand course requirements and offerings, see the聽Course Selection page.

Students may have a hold placed on their account due to missing immunizations or an unsettled student balance. Any holds on a student鈥檚 record will block course registration for that student. The student should contact the appropriate department to resolve the hold before proceeding.

Some courses offer additional credits, usually to account for the writing of a substantial analytical paper. To take a course with the higher credit option, complete the following steps:

• Verify that the course is offered as a variable credit option, which is noted on the course schedule.
• Register for the course.
• Email the course instructor to request to take their class with a higher credit option.
• Complete the Registration Change form (found on the Forms & Policies page), upload a copy of the course instructor鈥檚 reply indicating their approval, and submit the form.聽
• Student & Academic Services will review and process your request.

You may drop classes after the add/drop period (see the academic calendar for dates), provided your course load does not drop below the credit minimum (outlined below). However, this may result in the receipt of a 鈥淲鈥� (withdrawn) grade on your transcript. You may only add a class after add/drop with permission from both the professor and the Dean for Academic Affairs.

Upper-level law students may elect to take up to 7 credits, in no more than two classes, as Pass/Fail in lieu of a letter grade. To register for the Pass/Fail option, students must first determine that the course is eligible (refer to the list on the Course Selection page). Register for the course and select that grading option in EagleApps prior to the pass/fail deadline. Note that courses that are automatically pass/fail, such as some experiential learning courses, do not count against your 7 credit/two course maximum. A course that fulfills the ABA upper-level writing requirement may not be taken as pass/fail.

Students may audit a class with the permission of the professor. Note that the audited course will be included on your transcript. The process to audit a course is as follows:

• Email the course instructor requesting their permission to audit the course.
• Complete the Registration Change form and upload a copy of the course instructor鈥檚 reply indicating their approval. Submit the form.
• Student & Academic Services will review and process your request.
