Advanced online waitlists for these courses will be available on-line on Tuesday, March 17 until 9:00 am on Thursday, March 19. Results will be sent out via email Thursday afternoon, March 19. If selected, the Records Office will automatically register you. Once selected, if you wish to drop the course, please do so on GWeb (you may drop these courses, but not add) or via the Records Office.
Your PRIORITY CLASS SELECTION cannot be used for advanced online waitlisted classes. All students will have an equal chance via a lottery.
6. 1L Day and Evening and LLM / MSL Students: Please check the list of Closed Classes before selecting your PRIORITY class. The Closed Class list will be posted on the Records Office page by late afternoon on Thursday, March 26.
7. Evening students will be given preference in evening and weekend classes for which they use their priority.
8. JD and LLM / MSL students may not register for more than 15 credits at the initial registration; students may be allowed to add courses up to a maximum of 16 credits during the add/drop period with approval of the Dean of Students via the registration transaction form.
9. Full-time JD students must take a minimum of 12 credit hours.
10. JD students may not enroll in more than 6 credits of online courses per semester, and may not count more than 15 online credits toward their degree.
11. Please do not go to a professor seeking entry into a closed class as the professor cannot give you permission to do so.
12. Check GWeb to see if there are any holds applied to prevent you from registering. A hold can only be cleared by the office that placed the hold on your record. If you are unable to register for courses via GWeb, please submit a Registration Transaction Form once the hold has been removed.
13. When planning your class schedule, take heed of the exam schedule on the web. The Law School has a strict policy regarding final exams. Final exams cannot be rescheduled and students are not permitted to take two classes with final exams at the same time. Therefore, you should select classes with the exam schedule in mind. Students can have two exams in one day, although this is not advisable. Exams on successive days are not uncommon.
14. Course evaluations are available on myGW.
