1.15 Additional Semester

CUNY School of Law’s curriculum is designed so that full-time students can graduate in six semesters (excluding summer semesters), and part-time students in eight semesters plus one mandatory summer session.  

Students may elect to stay for an additional semester, or, if on academic probation, may be required to do so. The Law School will work closely with students taking an additional semester to ensure that the selected course of study best supports successful completion of law school and preparation for the profession’s entrance exam.  

Students considering an additional semester should consult their academic advisor and review their degree audit to track their progress toward their degree.  

Please note that additional semesters have financial aid implications, and students considering an additional semester should speak with the Financial Aid Office as soon as they begin considering it.
