All certifications require a signed request form from the student. Unfortunately, telephone requests cannot be accepted. Completed request forms can be submitted to our office (Room 343) or faxed to 202-319-4004.

Please allow 5-7 business days to process all letters and certifications. Our office is unable to provide same day or emergency service, so please plan accordingly.

Enrollment Verification Request

Request letters of good standing, degree verifications, student practice certifications and more. Please note: If you require an enrollment form to be filled-out related to student loan deferment, this form must be taken to the University's Enrollment Services office in Father O'Connell Hall, Room W200. Enrollment Services will assist you in completing this form.

Rescheduled Exam

If a student is scheduled for more than one classroom exam in fewer than 24 hours (the 24-hour period is computed from the starting time for each exam), his or her exam(s) will be rescheduled so that the exams will begin at least 24 hours apart. In addition, if a student has an exam on three consecutive days, the third exam will be moved so the student has a day off between the second and third exam. Take-home examinations and papers are excluded from rescheduling considerations. Reasons of personal convenience, including matters relating to employment, do not warrant rescheduling examinations. Students do not have the option to request the rescheduled exam dates or times. If your exam schedule qualifies you for a rescheduled exam, please contact Stuart Schept (schept@law.edu) and he will reschedule any conflicting exams.

Request to participate in a Summer Abroad Program at another law school

In addition to our own popular program in Krakow and our new program in Rome, many accredited American law schools conduct summer programs in overseas locations. 

Withdrawal/Academic Leave Form

This form should be used by students to notify the Assistant Dean for Academic Services/Registrar of a request for an academic leave or an intention to withdraw from school prior to graduation. Withdrawals can be in the form of a temporary term withdrawal (i.e. returning next term) or a permanent withdrawal from the Law School. A student will be given an academic leave when his or her request is for good cause and he or she plans to re-enroll within a reasonable time.
