- DISTRIBUTION OF ENROLLMENT MATERIALS
A. Tuition and Fees.
MSU Law only issues electronic bills ("E-Bill") that can be reviewed on STUINFO. The failure of any student to pay tuition when due will result in automatic disenrollment.
B. REFUNDS. Refunds for withdrawal from classes will be given in accordance with the schedule shown under DROP PERIOD above. - PROCESSING OF ENROLLMENT REQUESTS:
Closing of a Course:
Enrollment availability for a course is found at http://schedule.msu.edu/searchResults.asp. There are no waiting lists when a course has reached the enrollment limit. Courses will automatically reopen when enrollment falls below the enrollment limit.
Holds on Your Account:
If there is any type of hold on your account (including but not limited to: law school advisor, student receivables, financial aid, traffic/parking tickets, MSU), your enrollment requests can NOT be processed. All holds must be settled before the end of the drop/add period in order for your enrollment requests to be processed. Any requests submitted without holds being resolved prior to the end of the drop/add period will be discarded. - PROCEDURES FOR COMPLETION OF THE UPPER LEVEL WRITING REQUIREMENT (ULWR)
As a requirement for graduation, every student must complete the Upper Level Writing Requirement. Prior to enrolling for ULWR credit in any semester, students are required to have completed 29 credits. A "U" is shown on the course schedule next to any course that can be taken to satisfy the requirement.
To receive ULWR credit an ULWR Declaration form (PDF) must be:- signed by the supervising professor;
- the Office of Student Affairs; and
- submitted to the Registrar's Office by the fourth of week of the regular semester (second week in summer) the student intends to satisfy the ULWR.
