Participation to Accelerate Graduation
It is unlikely that participation in foreign summer programs can be used to accelerate graduation. Students interested in acceleration should contact their home schools to review this issue in light of ABA Standard 305, Interpretation 4.
Course Requirements & Grading
Grading is pass/fail.
Courses have no prerequisites. Students will be evaluated by means of a final examination or paper in each course.
Drop/Add Period
The last day to add a class is TBA at 3:00 p.m.
The last day to drop a class in ICLJ is before the start of the second class. This notification must be done in writing to the Registrar Office. If you wish to drop any class during ICLJ, you must notify the Registrar's Office in writing before the start of the second class. You are not permitted to add classes that overlap in time.
Exam Numbers
All exams and the majority of class assignments that count toward your final grade are completed anonymously. Exam numbers are made available through the Registrar's Office. Your exam number may only be used for the summer semester. We recommend you make two copies of all papers and keep one copy for your records.
Exam Schedule

Final Exams
Students who want to earn academic credit must take the final exam. Those students who do not want academic credit, are not required to take the final exam. The decision not to take the final exam must be put in writing and submitted to the Registrar's Office prior to the start of the course. The student will then receive an Audit.
Acceptance of Credit
Acceptance of any credit or grade is subject to determination by the student's home law school. We advise you to check with your Dean on this matter. U.S. JD students must submit a letter of good standing from their home institution stating that the institution will accept the courses for JD credit.
Transcript Request Form
All non-Pierce Law students who participate in the course are entitled to one free transcript, which will be sent to them once grades have closed and are posted. The transcript will be sent to the home address on file. Additional transcripts can be requested online from the Pierce Law Registrar.
