1L Enrollment Information

Fall 2018 First-year Course Schedule Information

Greetings!  Set forth below is a list of the eight possible 1L fall schedules, and the 13 Legal Research and Writing I sections.  You may begin to register for your assigned courses on Friday, August 10, 2018.  You must be enrolled by Monday, August 20, 2018, because faculty will be emailing pertinent information that is needed for the first week of the class and thereafter, and you must be enrolled to receive this information via class-list emails.

The Law School was able to accommodate all reasonable scheduling requests. Please be aware, because all first-year schedules have been carefully balanced to equalize the numbers of students in each, the Law School will not be entertaining individual student requests to change an assigned schedule.  

Information on how to register for your courses via the Internet is available from the University Registrar at the following website: http://registrar.wisc.edu/enrollment_information.htm (click on "Enrollment Demos" under the heading "Other Enrollment Related Links").  Please note that you will be unable to register until you have completed the "Terms and Conditions Agreement" that the Bursar's Office requires every student to sign.  See http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/bursar/faqterms.html for more information.

To register, you will need the five-digit “Class Number” (also sometimes referred to as the “Call Number”) for each course listed on your particular assigned schedule below.

Register for all of your courses on your assigned schedule (unless you intend to be a part-time student) and for the Legal Research and Writing I section to which you have been assigned (those are listed at the very bottom of the list of schedules).  Day abbreviations on the schedules below are as follows: M-Monday T-Tuesday W-Wednesday R-Thursday F-Friday.  Please contact Jane Heymann with any enrollment questions (jheymann@wisc.edu, Room 5103; 608-262-6413).

Additional information about textbooks is available on the website of the UW-Madison Registrar at http://registrar.wisc.edu/textbook_information_students.htm

During the month of August, many professors post an initial assignment that they would like their students to prepare for the first day of class.  Check this page in mid-to late August for any such assignments that your instructors may have posted:  http://law.wisc.edu/academics/assignments/index.html

All incoming law students must complete the University's online violence-prevention program.  You are strongly encouraged to complete the prevention program before classes begin.  The prevention program will be available on your Learn@UW page in early August.  The deadline for completion is September 21, 2018. Further information about the program is available here:  https://www.uhs.wisc.edu/prevention/violence-prevention/grad-students/.
