Rising 3L Advising Resources

by · April 4, 2023

Dear Rising 3L Students,

 

I am writing to provide some information about registration and to make you aware of some additional resources we have for academic advising as you plan your courses.

 

Registration Memo

First and most importantly, please be sure to read the Fall 2023 Registration Memo and other information on the Registration and Course Information page.  The answers to many of your questions are here, including when you may register.

 

Rising 3L Advising Workshop Videos and PowerPoints

Full-Time and Part-Time Rising 3Ls

Review the video and PowerPoint from Dean Wilson’s Academic Advising Workshop for Full-Time Rising 3Ls.

 

UM Degree

The law school has access to UM Degree, the University’s degree auditing platform. UM Degree will allow you to track your progress toward your JD and show your outstanding requirements as well as options that fulfill those requirements.

If you declare interest in pursuing the Advocacy, Business, Health, or Tax Certificates by completing the Certificate Declaration Form, it can track your progress toward certificate requirements as well.

Please note that UM Degree is not an official record of your degree or certificate progress, but rather a tool for you to use for your planning purposes.  The Law Registrar’s Office and certificate advisor will determine whether you have met your degree and certificate requirements, so please contact the Law Registrar or certificate advisor with any questions.

 

Academic Advising Website

We have updated the Academic Advising website with additional helpful resources for you as you plan your course schedule.

The Academic Advising Worksheet is one of the most helpful advising tools on the Academic Advising website.  It can help you plan next semester’s courses and begin planning for future semesters, as well.

 

Individual Advising

  • If you are pursuing a certificate in Advocacy, Business, Health, or Tax Law, ask to meet with the Certificate Director make sure you are on track for the certificate.
  • Students should also consider seeking academic advising from faculty who teach, write, or have practiced in areas of law of interest to you.
  • You may also reach out to the professor who advised you during your 1L year.
  • Dean Aden advises 2L and 3L students on Academc Probation or Academic Warning.
  • Deans Aden and Wilson and Professor Fung are also available for individual advising for other students who want to discuss their course selections or have other questions.

Complete the relevant Academic Advising Worksheet and email it to your advisor before any advising meeting.

 

Thanks,
Dean Aden
