NON-DEGREE ENROLLMENT
Attorneys who wish to take courses in a particular field may apply for admission as non-degree students. To be considered for acceptance into this program, students must hold a J.D. or LL.M. degree from an ABA-approved law school with at least a “C+” cumulative grade point average or an LL.M. from Georgetown. Students who do not have a degree from a U.S. law school but who have a law degree from outside the U.S. will be considered for admission on a case by case basis. Students accepted into the non-degree program are not candidates for a graduate degree.
Non-degree students may enroll in a total of no more than four graduate courses or a maximum of 8 credit hours, and may take no more than two courses per semester. Non-degree students must satisfy the same academic requirements and abide by the same Law Center rules and policies as candidates for graduate degrees.
Non-degree students are not eligible to enroll in J.D. level courses unless they are Law Center graduates. Non-degree students cannot enroll in J.D. first-year or clinical courses, nor can they enroll in a program of Graduate Independent Research.
Students in the non-degree program who subsequently apply for and are accepted into a degree program will be awarded up to 8 academic credits for coursework with a “C” or better completed at the Law Center during the two years immediately preceding the student’s entry into the degree program. The period of study allowed for completion of the LL.M. will be reduced by one semester for every 4 academic credits of non-degree coursework counted under this rule.
Note: Enrollment is on a space-available basis with enrollment priority given to degree candidates.
