2019-2020 Registration Guide

Application of Summer Credits: Evening If over 3 academic years, an evening student completed 63 credits, the normal minimum credit hour requirement for the 2019-2020 academic year is 21 credits. If the student also completed additional credits over the summer, those credits can be applied to the final semester as follows:

Spring 2020

Spring 2020

Fall 2019 9 credits

Fall 2019 12 credits

12 - 6 Summer Credits

9 - 5 Summer Credits

OR

= 6 Credits required

= 4 Credits required

Summer credits may not be used to reduce an evening division student’s course load to fewer than 7 credits, unless the student has enrolled in at least one Suffolk summer session and earned at least 3 credits through such summer study. Evening students who enroll in less than 7 credits are eligible to pay tuition on a per credit hour basis. Students are cautioned not to reduce final semester credits to less than 4 credits. Continued deferment of past Federal Loans is based on students’ maintaining half time status. Students should also contact the Student Financial Services Office to ensure that a reduced course load will not negatively impact financial aid eligibility. Accelerated Evening Program Students who are planning to graduate in 3 1/2 years are required to notify the Assistant Dean for Academic Services in writing of his/her intention to eliminate the final semester of study. Students should communicate with the Assistant Dean for Academic Services concerning January graduation as early in their academic career as possible to outline an academic plan to meet this objective. Any evening student who enrolls in two or more summer sessions in the Suffolk Summer Law Program and completes all degree requirements by the end of the seventh non-summer semester of study will not be required to enroll in an eighth non-summer semester, provided that the student has earned at least 9 credits through such summer study; or at least 8 credits in such summer study plus at least 4 credits in a Suffolk summer session not in Boston.
