Welcome Back! We hope you enjoyed your summer
break.
Program Changes
To add or drop a course you must complete a registration change form,
sign it, and submit it to
the Registrar's office. You may add an open course until 5:00
p.m. Friday, September 4. You may drop a course other than
a required or a clinical course any time before the final exam or the final
paper due date. If you drop a course and reduce your credit hours,
you will be charged tuition
according to the following schedule:
During the first week
no charge
During the second week
50% of tuition
During the third week
75% of tuition
After the third week
100% of tuition
Insurance
All students registered for at least 12 credit hours (whether day or
evening) will automatically be charged the basic student health insurance
fee of $442 for the full academic year. If you have other health
care coverage, you may waive the Student Health Plan by completing the
waiver form and returning it to the Counseling & Health Service office
at the main campus. The deadline to waive coverage for the Fall semester
is Monday, August 31. The waiver forms and brochures are available
in the Registrar's office.
Notice to evening students enrolled
in Intensive Trial Advocacy: If your registration in Intensive
Trial Advocacy brings your total credit hours for the Fall semester to
at least 12 credits, you will automatically be billed the student health
insurance unless you waive coverage.
Students registered for fewer than 12 credit hours who want to be covered
by the insurance plan must apply for coverage. Call the
Counseling & Health Service's insurance line at (312) 808-7101 for
an application. January graduates and students who withdraw before
the second week of the Spring semester who paid for the full-year policy
may request a refund for the remainder of the policy by submitting a letter
to Terry Shapiro, the Director of IIT Counseling
Center.
Pass/Fail Election
Students in good academic standing may elect to take up to six credit
hours of non- required
courses on a pass/fail basis. The deadline for making a pass/fail
election is Friday, September 4, at 5:00 p.m.. Make
sure to submit two copies of the form to the Registrar and retain one of
the copies signed by the Registrar's office until you get your course grade.
You may revoke a pass/fail election at any time until the last day of classes
for the semester. Please review §2.4 of the Student Handbook
and the Pass/Fail Election Form for additional information and
restrictions regarding pass/fail election.
Class Rank
Class ranks are available in the Career Services office, Room
360.
January, 1999 Graduates
If you plan to graduate at the end of the Fall, 1998 semester, please
complete the Application for Graduation and submit it to the Registrar
by Friday, September 4, 1998. The forms are available in the
Registrar's office. The Registrar's office will review your
application and your transcript and will notify you if it appears that
you are missing a requirement or will not have sufficient hours to graduate.
However, it is your responsibility, not the Registrar's, to make sure that
all graduation requirements will be fulfilled by the end of your final
semester.
Student Directory and Privacy Form
The law school publishes a Student Directory containing the names,
addresses, and telephone
numbers of all the students enrolled in the law school. If you
do not wish
to have your name,
address, and telephone number published in the Chicago-Kent Student
Directory, you must
submit a Privacy Form available in the Registrar's office by Friday,
September 11.
First-year Students - Undergraduate Transcripts
If you have not already done so, please contact the school from which
you received you
undergraduate degree and request that your final official transcript
be mailed to the Registrar's
office. We must have an official copy of your undergraduate transcript
in your law school file.
You will not be permitted to register for the Spring semester unless
we have your undergraduate
transcript.
