Registration is conducted in exclusive groups in order of class
priority:
4th year evening
3rd year full-time and part-time day
3rd year evening
2nd year evening
2nd year full-time and part-time day
1st year evening
1st year full-time and part-time day
Each group will have two days to register; no other group will
register during those two days. After the 3rd year evening
student registration days, 4th year evening, 3rd year day and 3rd
year evening students will have two days to make schedule
adjustments. 2nd year evening students and 2nd year day
students will then have two days each to register. The
first-come first-served waitlists will be reviewed, and the general
drop/add period will follow. Registration will begin on the designated days at 7:00
a.m.
All upper-class required, core and advanced civil procedure
courses are labeled as FCFS (first-come-first-served) with a limit
of 90, except for Constitutional Law II. The day sections of
Constitutional Law II will each have a limit of one-third of the
second-year day class. Since each group of students will have
a prioritized opportunity to register themselves, there will be no
day or evening restrictions placed on first-come first-served
(FCFS) courses except for Constitutional Law II. Day sections
of Constitutional Law II will be restricted to day students and the
evening section will be restricted to evening students. In
addition, all courses with limited enrollment are offered on a
first-come first-served basis. These courses are also
designated with a notation of “FCFS”. If demand for a FCFS
course exceeds the limit, a waitlist limited to half the number of
the maximum enrollment will be available (i.e. for courses with a
limit of 90, the waitlist will hold 45 students; if the limit is
20, the waitlist will hold 10 students, etc.). Students will
not be permitted to register for more than 18 credits without
written approval from the Senior Assistant Dean for Students.
All FCFS waitlists will be reviewed after the 2nd year students
finish registering. If space permits, students who have
actually registered themselves for one section of a FCFS and then
waitlisted themselves for another section of the same course will
be given the section for which they waitlisted themselves.
They will be dropped from the other section for which they were
registered. Time conflicts will be overridden by the
Registrar’s Office in order to do so. It is the
student’s responsibility to check the WEB immediately after the
waitlist review to make sure their final schedule does not contain
time conflicts. Upon completion of the FCFS review, students
who did not get the FCFS course they wanted may then check for
openings on the web throughout the drop/add period.
ONCE THE FCFS REVIEW PROCESS HAS BEEN
COMPLETED, ALL WAITLISTS WILL BE ELIMINATED. It is
recommended you check the web regularly if you are interested in
registering for a closed course, since seats may open up as
students adjust their schedules during the drop/add period.
Any openings in these courses will be filled via the web on a
first-come first-served basis. Once any open seats are
filled, the course automatically closes again until additional
students drop. This process will continue until the add/drop
period ends on January 20, 2009.
