Note:
- All J.D. requirements should be fulfilled within six years of completing the first law course. Similarly, Eastern policies require that all master’s-level requirement must be completed within six years of enrolling in the first Eastern graduate course. Exceptions to these six-year limits may sometimes be granted by both institutions for extenuating, documented reasons.
- Students whose first course work as a degree partnership student is at Cooley Law School will follow a regimented course of study at Cooley for the first 27 credits. After 27 credits, Cooley students may begin taking electives courses, including MBA classes at Eastern. Students whose first course work is at Eastern may begin taking Cooley Law School courses after completing at least 18 MBA credits.
- Students pay tuition and fees for Cooley Law School courses at the established Cooley Rates and pay tuition and fees for Eastern Michigan University courses at the school’s rates. In general, students may receive financial aid at one or the other institution in a given semester. Financial aid will be coordinated by Cooley Law School and Eastern to determine the maximum award that most benefits each partnership student within Federal regulations.
- Students are always advised to avoid combined course loads at both institutions that might jeopardize their good academic standing. At Cooley Law School, a student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher to remain in good academic standing. At Eastern Michigan University, a student must maintain a 3.0 or higher.
- According to American Bar Association regulations, no JD credit may be granted for those classes taken at Eastern Michigan University before the student enrolls and attends Cooley Law School.
- No transfer of credit may take place without fully completed declaration of intent to participate in the student’s official files at Cooley and Eastern Michigan University.
