Class Schedule and Fees Due

After registration, students will receive in the mail both a class schedule and a VolXPress statement itemizing fees owed for the following semester.

Late Registration

Students who do not pre-register will be assessed a $20 late fee. Please see the Academic Calendar for dates and deadlines of importance to you.

Drop and Add

If you need to drop or add classes, please check with the Records Office in Room 166. If you wish to add a class which was not available to you through the pre-registration process due to eligibility requirements, you should have placed your name on the waiting list in the Records Office. Please check with the Records Office during the drop and add period to determine if that class is now available to you. Then you may drop and add to change your class schedule.

Employment Form

Each student must complete an employment statement each semester. If you do not return this form during pre-registration, please complete and return this form to the Records Office as soon as possible.

Anonymous Examination Numbering System

Examinations in the College of Law are graded anonymously. Students are assigned a different examination number for each course for each semester. Only the student's individual examination number, course name, and instructor's name should appear on each blue book. Professors do not know who receives what grade until after all signed grade sheets are turned in to the Records Office. Grade adjustments for class performance or attendance are made in the Records Office after grades are turned in and recorded.

After any appropriate adjustments are made, grades are taken from the Records Office to the computer center for processing and mailing. Grades are mailed from the computer center to "Your Permanent Address" listed as part of the registration process. Students who would like their grades mailed to a different address must request a change in the Records Office.

Examination Procedure

A sign-in sheet, controlled by a member of the staff, is available in the examination room 20-30 minutes before the exam is scheduled to begin. After signing in, students receive a card containing the anonymous number that should be used on their blue books. The student's identification number, the course name, and the instructor's name should appear on the front of each blue book and on each page of typewritten or handwritten exams. Typewritten or handwritten exams should be placed inside a blue book before being turned in.

Student Identification Card

Student identificaton cards (VolCards) will be made during registration week in the Crest Room of the University Center, and thereafter in the ID Office in Room 337 of the University Center. After fees are paid, the student identification card will be electronically validated. You DO NOT have to go to the University Center office for this service.

Solicitation and sales in the College of Law are limited to those conducted by invitees of the College or by a registered student organization that has obtained approval in advance from the Dean of Students Office in accordance with the procedures set out in Hilltopics and from the office of the Dean of the College.
