Global Online Courses are open to 2Ls, 3Ls, and LLMs. JD/MBA students are not eligible due to the competing constraints of their program. Graduating students should take special note of the differences between academic calendars.

Credits earned through Global Online Courses can be counted toward the 86 credits required for graduation by Penn Carey Law. Remote classes will also count toward the 12-credit minimum course load required to maintain full-time student status. Credits from these courses cannot be applied toward the New York Bar’s 83-credit requirement, however.

The number of credits vary by course and will be awarded based on the number/length of sessions for which a class meets. Credit for Global Online Courses will be assigned in accordance with the Penn Carey Law Credit Hour Policy. More specific details will be provided upon request.

The body of the transcript will list LAW 700-001 along with other courses for that semester. The specific title of the Global Online Course and the final grade will appear in the notes section of the transcript.

There is a very limited number of seats in each Global Online Course, and students must submit a dedicated course request form for a Global Online Course during advance registration. On this form, students will have an opportunity to identify alternate Global Online Course(s) if they wish to be considered for a second-choice course.

Remote courses are offered in real time. Therefore, they follow the standard academic schedule for their institutions. Please pay close attention to the meeting times listed, as these courses may be offered early in the morning or late at night. 

Due to differences in academic calendars, and in consideration of the process for admission to a Global Online Course, students must add/drop a Global Online Course by the second meeting. If applicable, a waitlist for specific courses will be maintained
