Course Selection
There is a help guide on how to navigate the studentadmin system online.Course Selection for Fall 2008 courses will take place April 14-18, 2008.
The updated schedule of available courses will be available on/about April 2nd. It will be available:
- On the law school web site as a Search for Courses.
- On the studentadmin system (www.studentadmin.uconn.edu).
The Registrar's Office will not be distributing hard copies.
Course selection will proceed pretty much as it is has in previous semesters: a time of enrollment appointment appointments (see below) during which students may log in only at certain times and with varying limitations; followed by an open enrollment period during which time students may log in at anytime to add/drop/swap classes. Open enrollment begins April 19, 2008 and continues through the first week of classes in Spring Semester.
Please see the help guide on how to navigate the studentadmin system.

- Visiting Students
- Email the Registrar's Office with your course selections beginning Friday, April 18th at 1:00 pm.
Please note the following that pertains to all students selecting courses:
- Students may adjust their schedules at anytime during their enrollment appointment.
- Priority within each appointment is on a first come/first served basis.
- Students who miss their appointment, must wait until their next appointment time (or the open enrollment period) to select courses.
What to do if there is a problem
First of all, clear up any problems beforehand. That means confirming:
- You can log in, that you know your id and password
- That you don't have any "holds" on your record preventing you from enrolling. (This includes hold due to failure to present proof of immunization as well as indebtedness).
- That you have the correct enrollment appointments assigned as outlined above.
- You can do a "search for classes" on the studentadmin system. *** PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE STUDENTADMIN SEARCH FOR CLASSES.. on this panel there is a check box labeled OPEN ONLY -if you leave this checked on, you will never see courses that have already filled up.
- You have a plan ready and know what you'd like to sign up for before the actual time to sign up for classes.
We'd be happy to help resolving any of these matters prior to registration week.
If there is a problem during your enrollment appointment you should email the Registrar's Office.
- You can only email us with a registration problem during your appointment time.
- Tell us what class you're trying to add/drop/swap and what the problem is (tell us the error message you're getting).
- We will address these emails in the order in which they are received.
- We do not accept phone calls or walk in pleas for help at this time.
- We feel that this is the most fair way to handle student problems, as it ensures they are done so on a first come/first served basis, and does not offer an unfair advantage to the student who can get to campus over the student who cannot.
A note about how the courses are scheduled and the enrollment limits of courses.
To give priority to evening students for evening courses, a certain number of seats have been set aside during the priority registration period for evening students in evening courses. For each elective courses taught in both the evening division and the day division in an academic year, 50% of the places in the evening division course are allocated to evening division students who have the same registration priority as competing day division students. For each elective courses taught in the evening division but not in the day division in that academic year, 25% of the places are allocated to evening division students who have the same registration priority as competing day division students. Day division students who have the same registration priority may register for places allocated to evening division students but not claimed by an evening division student. To actualize this policy, the enrollment limits of evening courses have been temporarily lowered and are adjusted as the evening seats are filled by evening students. To permit students to enroll in courses of greater than 3 credits during the 1st appointment time, the credit loads of some courses have been temporarily lowered. For example: Clinic: Asylum and Human Rights is in fact a 6 credit course, but is temporarily scheduled for 3 credits to permit priority registration.
Quick comment about waitlists
Pay attention to the message you get when you signup for class that says: Success/Messages" generally means you've been added to a course waiting list and not actually enrolled on the course. Waitlists will be updated as time permits during the week of enrollment appointments, but most certainly immediately AFTER that week. Students are automatically enrolled in courses from waiting lists as space opens up and are not notified of this adjustment to their schedule unless a problem.
Please direct any questions you may have regarding the course selection process to the registrar's office.
