Course Registration Preferences
Course Registration Preferences
When planning your schedule, check the registration preference of your planned classes. Registration preference can be found in the schedules released by the Office of the Registrar and in the comment section on SUOnline. If no preference is listed, any student who meets the prerequisite requirements can register for the class during their appointment time. If there is a registration preference listed, see below:
Equal Preference
Equal Preference courses are electives taught on a one-time-only, occasional or experimental basis. Because we don't know that these classes will be offered more than once during a student's law school career, we give all students an equal chance to register for these classes. We do this by running Equal Preference Lotteries before registration appointments begin.
If there are open seats remaining in an Equal Preference class after lotteries have been run, any student who meets the prerequisite requirements may register during their Regular Registration appoinment time or during open registration.
Full Time Preference
Classes scheduled to end before 6:00 pm may be designated Full Time Preference. Classes are designated Full Time Preference at the discretion of the Registrar. Our goal is to preserve space in day-time sections for students who cannot attend class during the evening. Not all day-time classes are designated Full Time Preference. We consider the overall schedule and how frequently the class is offered when making a preference decision.
Full-time students may register for Full Time Preference courses during their Preference Registration appointment. Part-time students who wish to register for a Full Time Preference course must wait until their Regular Registration appointment time to do so.
Part Time Preference
Classes scheduled to start after 4:00 pm may be designated Part Time Preference. Classes are designated Part Time Preference at the discretion of the Registrar. Our goal is to preserve space in evening sections for students who cannot attend class during the day. Not all evening classes are designated Part Time Preference. We consider the overall schedule and how frequently the class is offered when making a preference decision.
Part-time students may register for Part Time Preference courses during their Preference Registration appointment. Full-time students who wish to register for a Part Time Preference course must wait until their Regular Registration appointment time to do so.
