No credit is given to any student registered in the Law School for courses taken in other law schools unless written permission to take such courses is obtained in advance from the Vice Dean. A student must earn a passing grade as defined by Pitt Law. Credits only will be applied. The actual letter grade will not be figured into the student’s Law School average. A student will not be permitted to take a course elsewhere for credit for a failing grade received in this school. The student transferring credit is responsible for assuring that an official grade report from the other school is submitted to the Law School in a timely manner. A total of 6 credits may be taken in another law school’s summer program. The work completed in a summer program at another law school does not qualify as an entire semester to satisfy the six-semester residency requirement for graduation.
