Located on the banks of the scenic White River in South Royalton, Vermont Law and Graduate School (VLGS) is an ideal location for students to both study and play in summertime.

Hiking, swimming, tubing, biking, and cookouts are just some of the many outdoor activities students enjoy while not in class. Students also take time to sample fine dining, arts, entertainment, and other cultural attractions available near the campus and in nearby cities and towns such as Montpelier, Burlington, Woodstock, and Hanover, NH. Students not only have an opportunity to relax and form lasting connections with one another, but also mingle with the expert lecturers who come to campus each summer. Local summer housing is available on campus and in the surrounding towns.

If you have questions about the VLGS Summer Session, please contact Courtney Collins, Assistant Director of the Environmental Law Center, at ccollins@vermontlaw.edu.

 

APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION

Vermont Law and Graduate School students (including Masters, JD/Masters, and LLM degree students) need not apply to enroll in the summer session, but instead will register for courses starting in early April by following instructions distributed by the Registrar's Office. Non-VLGS students, including auditors, should apply to the summer session using our online form (available in early March). 

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

APPLICATION: If you are interested in taking classes as a non-degree student or to transfer credits to your home institution, apply here starting in early March.


REGISTRATION: Once your application has been submitted and approved, you will receive an email confirming setup of a personal VLGS account and providing instructions on how to access this account. You may then register for classes starting in May.

Degree-Seeking Students
