Academic Credit

Academic credit will be awarded for courses successfully completed. To be eligible to receive course credit, students are required to attend all class sessions and satisfactorily complete the final examination. Course grades will be based on a final examination (at the option of the professor), and class participation. Loyola Law School uses a letter-grading system with a prescribed curve.

Loyola Law School students have a choice between: (a) the traditional grading system of the Law School and (b) opting to have grades recorded on a pass/fail basis. Under no circumstances may a student withdraw his/her grading election once classes have begun. Units undertaken on a pass/fail basis through the Costa Rica Summer Program will be applied toward the maximum twenty (20) allowed. For further information on grading and academic standards, please consult the Student Handbook.

Non-Loyola Law School students should consult their respective institutions regarding rules on receiving course credit and grades for classes taken in the program. Acceptance of any course credit or grade is subject to the determination of the student’s home school.
