JD, LLMCL, and LLMT Summer Program

Summer 2024 (2024S) registration will take place on the Student Service Centre (SSC).  Registration for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 (2024W) will take place on UBC's new student information system, Workday Student.

Students may self-register for summer courses on the SSC on the following dates and times:

• March 14, 9:00 a.m. – 12:59 p.m.:  Registration Open to current Years 2 and 3 JD students
• March 14, 1:00 p.m. – on-going:     Registration Open to current Years 1, 2 and 3 students
• LLMT and LLMCL students: will be registered beginning at 8:00 a.m. on March 14 by Tania Astorino, Director, Graduate Professional Programs.

Students must have all registration holds (i.e., financial holds) cleared prior to registration.

Students seeking guidance on registration may wish to view the UBC step-by-step video on how to register.

No wait lists will be kept for these courses!  Students should monitor the availability of open seats on the SSC.

See the Add/Withdrawal dates for each course at the UBC Course Schedule website.

If you are planning to take courses during the summer session and would like to be eligible for full-time government student loans, make sure you meet the following requirements.

• Register in at least 9 credits (or 6 credits if approved for PD status); and
• Register in at least 12 consecutive weeks of course work; and
• Ensure that there is a break of no longer than 8 consecutive business days between courses (the gap between the last day of class and the final exam for the same course is not counted as a break in studies)

If you are registering in the JD classes offered in both terms of the summer session AND are registered in a minimum of 9 credits during this period (or 6 credits if approved for PD status), then you will meet the course load requirements for full-time student loans.

Apply for your loan using the current 2023/24 application. Generally, processing time is 4-6 weeks, depending on your home province, so it is important that you apply early.

If you are going to apply for a summer loan, also be sure to apply for UBC Summer Bursary through the SSC. The application opens on May 1 and will close on June 1. Only those students who meet the general bursary criteria will be considered for summer bursary.

Please read the eligibility requirements to be considered for bursary support at the UBC Bursary Program website.

To make sure your student loan is confirmed by the bursary deadline, we strongly recommend that you apply for your student loan by April 1st for Summer Session bursaries.

If you have any questions about summer session loans, please email the Law ES Advisor team at: es.lawsupport@ubc.ca.
