Request
for Letter of Good Standing
A
student who requests a Letter of Good Standing must be in
good standing as to all three measures of good standing
or the request will be denied. "Good Standing" encompasses the following three
discrete circumstances:
·
Academic Good Standing
A
student who has successfully completed their first entire academic year and each subsequent year during which the student is enrolled, and who is neither
disqualified nor on probation, is in academic good standing. A student required to repeat a year or a course, is not in
academic good standing.
·
Financial Good Standing
A
student who has paid all sums due or owed to the school is
in economic
good standing.
·
Honor Code (Character) Good Standing
A
student who has been dismissed or placed on probation by
the
Academic Standards Committee, other academic committee or, by the Dean,
as the
result of an Admissions or Honor and
Conduct Code violation, or a student who
has either received non-academic
discipline; has voluntarily withdrawn; has taken
a leave
of absence with charges pending that might lead to
dismissal or
probation; or is under threat of non-academic
discipline, is not in honor code good
standing.
There
is a $5.00 fee for a Letter of Good Standing. A Letter
of Good Standing cannot be processed if a student's account
is delinquent. It should also be noted that academic
good standing cannot be verified for First Year student's
until they have completed all first year core courses which
includes Contracts, Torts, and Criminal Law. Letters
of Good Standing are generally processed within ten working
days after receipt of a written request. Processing may
take longer if requested during a Registration period or during the
processing of grades. The fee to expedite the processing
of a Letter of Good Standing is $10.00.
NOTE:
A "Grade Report" or enrollment verification to
an employer or other person to whom the student requests
the same be transmitted, is not considered a Letter of Good
Standing but simply a verification of the student's courses
and grades.
Request
to Withdraw
A
student may withdraw, with permission of the Dean or Associate
Dean of Academics, at any time prior to taking final examinations.
A student's unauthorized withdrawal could however, affect
the student's eligibility to sit for the California Bar
Examination under the residency rules of the Committee of Bar Examiners.
In addition, the reduction in a student's course load could
affect their qualification under the Bar's residency requirements.
If a student intends to seek readmission at a later date,
they must provide reasons for their withdrawal which will
be considered by the Admissions Committee at the time of
the student's application for readmission. All current
tuition and fees must be paid in full in order to withdraw
in Good Standing. Requests to withdraw may not be
made by telephone, facsimile or email.
Request
for Leave of Absence
A
written Request for Leave of Absence must be filed with
the Dean stating the reason for the requested leave and
indicating the time period requested. A student's
academic record will be considered in evaluating the request.
All current tuition and fees must be paid in full in order
for a leave of absence to be considered in Good Standing.
Requests for a leave of absence may not be made by telephone,
facsimile or email.
