Legal Assistant Studies Program

Undergraduate Class Scheduling - Part Time

The following is an example of a part-time course schedule for an undergraduate student in the Eastern Michigan University Legal Assistant Studies Program. Second Bachelor's Degree students should see the sample Second Bachelor's part-time course schedule.

This schedule assumes that the student begins taking required Program Courses in the Winter semester of his or her sophomore year. The Program Coordinator strongly recommends that undergraduate students have most of their University Basic Studies courses complete by that time.

The Program Coordinator is available to help students plan their course schedules. However, it is each student's responsibility to conform his or her course scheduling to the Program Schedule. Failure to do so will result in scheduling difficulties and delays in graduation. Substitutions necessitated by a failure to appropriately schedule courses will be granted only under the most exceptional circumstances. Questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.

This example is based upon a 9-hour per-semester course load. A student who chooses to take fewer hours, or who has more University Basic Studies requirements to fulfill, will need to adjust this schedule accordingly. Full-time students (15 hours or more per semester) should see the example for full-time students.
