Summer Session Application and Registration
Who is eligible?
These are graduate-level courses; normally, only those with undergraduate degrees will be considered for registration. However, undergraduate students may enroll with the director’s permission. Law and graduate students currently enrolled at other institutions are eligible. Credits transfer at the discretion of the receiving school. Check with your institution if they will accept transfer credits from VLGS. Class registration is subject to approval and capacity limits.
Non-Degree Students or Transfer Credit
If you are interested in taking classes as a non-degree student or to transfer credits to your home institution, fill out the summer application (available in early March).
Once your application has been submitted and approved, you will receive an email confirming the
setup of a personal VLGS account and providing instructions on how to access this account. You will need this to register for classes. Use your VLGS email to contact registrar@vermontlaw.edu to notify the Registrar which classes you want to take this summer.
