Special Requirements
Courses completed with a grade below a C- do not count toward fulfilling the specific course requirements of the major.ÌýÌý
Transfer Policy: Transfer students may apply up to 15 credit hours of approved international law
coursework from
other colleges/universities. A student may obtain advanced standing for legal specialty
courses through the transfer
of credits from other academic institutions if that program is in substantial compliance,
regionally accredited,
approved by an appropriate legal authority, and otherwise meets the standards established
by ºÚÁÏÍø.
In the case of transfer credit, the program director reviews student transcripts and
a course description from the
institution which awarded the credits and makes a determination as to 1) whether the
institution which awarded the
credits is accredited at a level substantially equivalent to ºÚÁÏÍø; 2)
whether the credits were awarded
as part of a program substantially the equivalent to the ºÚÁÏÍø's International
Law Program; 3) whether
the specific course appears to cover substantially the same material, including practical
assignments; and 4) whether
the specific course involves the same number of semester hours as the equivalent course
at ºÚÁÏÍø. In
the event the program director is satisfied, an acceptance/transfer of credits is
appropriate under these criteria, the
program director generates a course substitution form indicating the source of the
credits and the legal specialty
course for which it should be accepted as credit and the reason for that recommendation.
The award of legal
specialty credits through examination or portfolio is not accepted.Ìý
