General Requirements, More Information

All dual degree candidates are subject to section II(F) of these rules and regulations, limiting credit

for ungraded activities to 2 credits per semester. Students participating in a dual degree program

are subject to all Rules, Regulations and Policies of the JD program. A dual degree student who

is dismissed from the law school for academic or disciplinary reasons will be dismissed from the

dual degree program and may only resume studies in one or both of the schools if the student is

successful in reapplying to the school(s) in accordance with the school(s) readmission standards.

Lesser academic or disciplinary sanctions and/or probationary conditions may apply in both

schools as well. In the case of a dual degree within the law school (such as the JD/Tax LLM), a

student dismissed from either law school program will be dismissed from both law school

programs and if subject to lesser sanctions than dismissal, the sanctions will apply to both law

school programs. For more information, please see the Dean of Students for more information.

and the BSE/JD program, visit the law school’s web page under “Academic Programs”
