In exceptional cases, in which a student does not meet the requirements above, authority to allow a student to receive credit for a course is within the associate dean's discretion. For purposes of 64 this policy, an academic year consists of a fall semester and the immediately following spring semester. A student at the University of Maryland School of Law may receive credit for any course taken during a summer session at an ABA- accredited law school if the student receives, from the associate dean of the University of Maryland School of Law, approval in advance to take the course and receives a grade of C or better in the course. Other Fields. A student may receive law school credit for up to nine credit hours of graduate level course work from institutions outside the law school for which the student received a grade or grades of C or better (credits transfer, the grade does not). The outside work must be relevant to the legal education of the student (i.e., facilitate work toward a joint degree or enhance a strong area of interest and specialization in the law) and must be approved in advance by the faculty coordinator for interdisciplinary programs, Dean Hornstein. Graduate credits earned prior to commencement of law school studies may not be applied toward requirements for the J.D. degree. In order to obtain a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Maryland School of Law, a student must obtain at least 52 of the 84 credits required for graduation in courses or other credit programs offered by the School of Law. A student admitted to advanced standing, or who otherwise is permitted to apply credits earned at another college or university toward degree requirements at Maryland, may not transfer more than 32 such credits.
