Academic Questions
What is the deadline to drop a limited enrollment class?
You must drop a class designated as limited enrollment by the end of the open add/drop period on MySlice as posted to the Academic Calendar found on the College of Law website. These courses are those that have a Note 2 in the course catalog. After this time, you are not permitted to drop a limited enrollment class.
How do I register for an independent research project?
You must register for the independent research project on MySlice during the open registration period, using the course number(s) provided in the Course Schedule. You must also obtain an Independent Research form in the Office of Student Life. This form must then be signed by the advising faculty member and returned to the Office of Student Life so that a copy may be made for your file. The original Independent Research form must then be returned to the advising faculty member so that they may turn the form in with your grade submission.
If a class is designated as a pass/fail-graded course, does that count towards the seven pass/fail credits I am permitted to elect during my law school career?
No. If a class is designated as automatically graded on a Pass/Fail basis, those credits do not count against the seven credits you are permitted to elect as Pass/Fail during your law school career.
How do I verify that I have satisfied my writing requirement?
If you believe that you have satisfied your writing requirement, but seek verification, you should schedule an appointment with Emily Cadwallader, Academic Advisor in the Office of Student Life, Suite 444.
Where can I find my class rank?
Class ranks are posted to the Intranet. Once you have logged into the Intranet, go to Students/Exam Information/Examination Grades and your class rank will be listed there.
How do I complete my Honor Code Pledge?
You may complete your Honor Code Pledge on the Intranet. Go to Students/Student Life Service Request/Student Life Service Request Form/Honor Code Pledge.

How do I reserve parking for a guest invited to the College of Law by my organization?

Procedural Questions
Where can I find important dates/deadlines for the academic year?

May I obtain a copy of my undergraduate transcript from my College of Law application?

What do I do if I have been hired by a faculty member to work as their faculty assistant?
If you are hired directly by a faculty member to work as their faculty assistant you must obtain a Faculty Assistant Hire Form from the Office of Student Life. The faculty member must sign off on this form confirming the hire and then you should bring the form back to the Office of Student Life for verification. Once verified, a copy will be made for your file and you will bring the original to the Budget Office, Suite 446 so that they may instruct you on the final tasks necessary to put you on Syracuse University payroll.
What do I do if I have forgotten the combination to the lock on my locker?
If you need to have the lock cut off from your assigned locker, you should report to the faculty suite on the second floor, Suite 244 and see Chris Ramsdell. She will accompany you, with the lock-cutter, to your locker and assist you.
Why won’t my SU ID card grant me access to the College of Law after-hours?
