Summer session provides an opportunity for law students from Carolina Law and from other law schools to earn academic credits. Classes begin the week after Commencement, and exams are held in mid-to-late June. Course selections include Evidence and Professional Responsibility as well as other upper-level courses like Lawyering Soft Skills and Externships. Students may register for up to six credits during the summer. Registration for more than six credits is considered an overload and is permitted only if authorized by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

Registration

Registration for summer session opens in mid-March and closes in mid-May. Late registration may include a fee. All Carolina Law and visiting students must register by and attend classes the first week of summer session. If you have questions about registration, please contact the Carolina Law Registrar’s Office.
