Pre-Req Waivers

If you are interested in a class and believe you completed the pre-req outside of NU Law, you may submit a pre-req waiver request online. Navigate to our Forms page, then click Pre-requisite from the menu. Please note you must have legitimate, qualifying experience with the pre-requisite subject material to submit the waiver. Be prepared to submit a course syllabus or other documentation of your experience with the pre-req subject material to the professor for review.  Faculty are not obligated to approve your request.

Completed pre-req waivers (including professor approval) must be received no later than 12pm CT on the Thursday before a bidding round begins in order to apply in that round.

Note: Courses noted as “MSL Students Only” cannot be enrolled by anyone outside of the Master of Science in Law program. The MSL program is comprised of a separate curriculum and does not qualify students to sit a bar exam in any jurisdiction. MSL Only courses will not appear in the bidding system and waivers are not available for these courses.
