Do I have to rank all the courses?
Yes, you need to rank all eight courses.

What happens if I don't complete my pre-registration?
Students who do not finalize their Legal Methods II pre-registration by 12 p.m. on Monday November 9, will not be included in the lottery. They will be registered for a Legal Methods II that has available seats after all students who pre-registered are placed.

Is pre-registration time sensitive?
No, it is not. Results will be decided by lottery, not on a first-come, first serve basis.

Will I be able to change my Legal Methods II section?
After schedules are released, students can request to change their Legal Methods II through this form. No change is guaranteed.
