The Law School Calendar differs in a number of ways from the University Calendar. Make up classes may be held at the professor's discretion to replace sessions missed due to holidays, examinations, or for other reasons.
* On Wednesday, following Fall Recess, classes will meet according to the Monday Fall Term schedule.
** On the first Wednesday of the Winter term, classes will meet according to the Monday Winter Term schedule.
† All grades are ordinarily posted to student transcripts within two weeks of the Grading Deadline.
NOTE: THIS CALENDAR IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
