Additional Rules [top]

Each student's course program must be officially approved before attending classes.  This rule also applies to change of programs.

Students are not permitted to attend classes for which they are not officially registered.  Failure to pay tuition and fees when due renders a student liable to suspension from school.

Transcripts of record, degrees, or other official certification will not be issued unless a student's account is in balance.

Privacy of Student Records

Pursuant to Section 67143(a) of the California Education Code, "a college or university is not authorized to permit access to student records to any person without written consent of the student."

Records Retention

All records are maintained by California Southern Law School for a minimum of five years and all students' transcript records will be retained for fifty years as required by Section 94312 of the California Education Code and related regulations.

Placement

While some employers contact the school for likely candidates for employment, no guarantee for employment can be made.

Students' Rights And Grievances

The staff of California Southern Law School is uncommonly accessible to all students. The office is manned every evening by the Registrar and/or the Administrator of the school. Students who have a grievance are encouraged to discuss the matter privately and confidentially with these staff members. If an intervention is necessary which involves a third party student, the identity of the complaining student is kept confidential.

It has been our experience that the few issues which have risen over the years have been handled to everyone's satisfaction by these staff members. It represents in the best sense of the word the personal attention which each student receives. In the event that a student is not satisfied with the explanation or solution offered by staff an appointment will be made with the Dean of the school. The Dean is the final arbiter of all disputes.
