Students interested in pursuing permission for a hardship visit or a leave of absence
should consult with the Dean of Students.
Summer/Winter session study at Non-Suffolk, ABA-approved program. Up to
four credits may be accepted for participation in a non-Suffolk, ABA- approved
summer or winter session program. Day students transferring credits from a non-
Suffolk, ABA-approved summer or winter session program will not be permitted to
take less than 10 credits in any future semester at Suffolk University Law School as
a result of transferring in these credits. Evening students transferring credits from a
non-Suffolk, ABA-approved summer or winter session program will not be
permitted to take less than 7 credits in any future semester at Suffolk University Law
School as a result of transferring in these credits. Students must be in good standing
and receive pre-approval for such study from the Dean of Students.
Electives not Offered at Suffolk nor at Another Law School with a Reciprocity
Agreement. In a situation where an upper-class student wishes to take an individual
elective course not offered by Suffolk (or a school with which Suffolk has a
reciprocity agreement), the student may be approved to take the elective at another
local ABA-approved law school. Day students will not be permitted to take less than
10
credits at Suffolk University Law School in the semester during which they enroll
in the non-Suffolk elective, nor take less than 10 credits in any future semester at
Suffolk University Law School as a result of transferring in these credits. Evening
students will not be permitted to take less than 7 credits at Suffolk University Law
School in the semester during which they enroll in the non-Suffolk elective, nor take
less than 7 credits in any future semester at Suffolk University Law School as a
result of transferring in these credits. No more than one non-Suffolk course will be
approved for a student. Students must be in good standing and receive pre-approval
for such study from the Dean of Students.
