Certain rules, regulations, and policies are necessary for the fair and efficient operation of the law school. The Student Handbook contains detailed statements regarding such topics as full- and part-time status and enrollment, employment, absences, examinations, grades, exclusion and readmission, withdrawals, student conduct and discipline, and building usage. Students should consult the handbook as questions arise. Inquiries about additional information should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs.

Employment
Some students seek full-time employment and pursue their studies in the part-time division in order to meet the financial obligations of law study. Full-time students sometimes seek part-time employment after the first year of law study to offset expenses. The Career Services Office provides assistance in finding appropriate law-related employment.

Limitations on the amount of permissible outside work (20 hours per week for full-time students; 40 hours per week for part-time students) apply to all students. Outside activities are not viewed as acceptable excuses for low academic performance in either division of the law school. The law school's Office of Student Affairs provides counseling for students who have doubts or questions about employment.
