Externships are graded on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis. A maximum of 11 credit hours of S/U work (excluding Litigation) can be applied toward graduation. In addition, no more than 12 credit hours of clinical course work and externships combined can be applied toward graduation. The maximum number of externship course hours that can be applied toward graduation is 6. 11. Can students take an externship where the credit hours will not count toward graduation?
