A law student may count towards their law degree up to six credits hours of work earned in courses taught at William & Mary outside the Law School. To count towards the JD, a non-Law School course

(1) must be approved in advance by the Law School Vice Dean,

(2) may not involve essentially the same material covered in a course previously taken by the student,

(3) must be offered at a graduate, or upperclass undergraduate level, except for good cause shown (e.g., an introductory course in a foreign language),

(4) should be intellectually demanding, and

(5) in this course, the student must earn a grade of "C" or "Pass" (if graded on a Pass/Fail basis).

Non-Law School courses are reported on Law School transcripts as Passes and do not figure in cumulative GPAs. The form for permission to take a non-Law School course should be submitted to Dean Jackson no later than Wednesday of the Add/Drop period.
