Office of the Registrar

This form is to be used by prospective students not currently matriculated at the School of Law seeking to enroll in course work during the fall or spring semesters (separate forms are available for winter and summer course enrollment). Eligibility to take a law course is limited to the following:  Students enrolled as candidates for some graduate degrees, members of the bar, students enrolled at other ABA accredited law schools, and Connecticut residents over the age of 62. The consent of the faculty member and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the School of Law is required. The grading basis option for the course (audit, graded, or pass/fail) is at the request of the student and the discretion of the faculty member. Individuals requesting permission to become non-degree students should consult the schedule of courses before completing this request form. As all enrolled students are required to pay all applicable tuition and/or fees, it is also recommended that students should review the bursar web pages before completing this request form.

Course work taken by a non-degree student who then subsequently is granted admission to the School of Law in a degree program is not eligible for transfer; nor may these courses be re-taken for credit after matriculation. Limited exceptions to this policy may be made in the case of matriculation into an LLM degree program.

Many bar applications can be lengthy and time consuming to prepare. Most states have as part of their required forms a certification of the dean or degree awarded and a character and fitness review. Forms for this purpose are completed by the staff in the Office of the Registrar. Tentative graduates are invited to the office to complete the authorization necessary for the forms required to be sent by the School of Law. Graduates may send their required forms directly to the Office of the Registrar for completion.

Verification of enrollment (for employers, insurance companies, other institutions of higher education, as well as for many other entities) of degree completion is often needed by former and current students. Unless specified otherwise, all enrollment verifications will include: (1) student's full name; (2) dates of attendance; (3) Status (active, on leave, completed, etc.); (4) study load (full or part time); (5) program of study and (6)  anticipated date of graduation or completion date.

If forms have been provided to individuals from another source, these forms may be brought to the registrar's office. Please leave any dates of attendance fields blank as  the staff in the registrar's office will complete this information. Students who do not require enrollment verification on School of Law letterhead may produce their own using the resources offered by the PeopleSoft student administration system.

Requestors should complete the enrollment verification request form and mail, email, fax or bring their enrollment verification request form directly to the registrar’s office.

Submit this online form if you have been on an approved leave from the School of Law and are now ready to return. This form will serve to notify the various administrative departments of your return so that we can prepare your account and various tech systems for your return.

Policies, deadlines and procedures have been established by the School of Law, but we also recognize that personal circumstances my require students to seek a waiver of these.   The faculty committee formed to hear these requests is known as the Faculty Petitions Committee and the procedure for making a request to this committee starts with completion of this online form.  While this committee is unable to approve petition requests that seek waiver of American Bar Association Accreditation Guidelines, it does and can deliberate matters based on law school policy or procedure.
