POLICY REGARDING ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR 2008 DISPUTE
RESOLUTION INSTITUTE and HEALTH LAW INSTITUTE SUMMER COURSES
Graduate students, lawyers, and other professionals join
Hamline law students in the DRI and HLI Summer classes. This mixed student
pool, plus low enrollment caps to ensure low student/faculty ratios,
necessitates a tighter control on the process of adding and dropping courses. A
$150 per course, non-refundable tuition deposit will be charged to your account
for each course. The tuition deposit will be applied toward the total tuition
amount. This deposit will only be returned if the applicant is not accepted
into the course. The balance of the tuition is due one week prior to the
beginning class session for each course after which no refund will be made. If
you are placed on the wait list, you will not be charged the $150 until you
have a place in the course.
POLICIES
You must register online, through Hamline's secure website
(Piperline). The following information will help you with the registration
process—please read it carefully.
Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You
may register any time during the registration period. For traditional law
school courses, the following deadlines apply:
Last Day to Add
Up to the day before a given course starts.
Last Day to Drop (w/o notation on record or financial penalty)
June and July Courses (summer-long)
Thu., Jun. 5
June Courses
Day before 2nd class meeting
July Courses
Day before 2nd class meeting
Short Courses Offered Throughout the Term
Day before the 1st class meeting.
GET FAMILIAR WITH PIPERLINE
Log in to the secured area of Piperline before the registration period begins.
Familiarize yourself with the menus and navigation. If you have never used
Piperline, it will take you some time to familiarize yourself with it. Don’t
wait until the first day of registration to do this.
HOLDS
Check your registration status in
Piperline for any holds that will prevent you from registering (e.g. financial,
immunization, academic probation). It is important that you do this before
registration starts, so that you have time to take the necessary steps to clear
your hold(s). Registration holds can only be removed by the
department that placed it. The Office of the Registrar rarely places
registration holds. More commonly, holds are set by Student Accounts, Financial
Aid or some other department. If you have a registration hold, please contact
the appropriate department.
PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE
Make sure you check the course description for each section you select, and
verify that you have met the prerequisites. Please see the class schedule via
Piperline for course descriptions.

WAIT LIST
If a section is full, you may put yourself on the wait
list and register for something else. You may be on as many wait lists as you
wish. However, wait listing does NOT mean that you are registered in that
section. If you become eligible to enroll, the Office of the Registrar will
notify you via email before 5 p.m. May 19th, 2008. You
then will have forty-eight hours to change your registration from WAIT LIST to
WEB REGISTERED. If you are no longer interested in the section, you may drop
the section yourself. After the forty-eight hour period, if you have not
registered for the section, you will be automatically dropped from the wait
list. This process does not apply to DRI
or Health Law Institute courses.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR
REGISTRATION STATUS FROM WAIT LIST TO **WEB REGISTERED**
- Login to Piperline.
- Access your schedule for the Summer 2008 term.
- Find the class in which you are wait listed. Note the CRN (you
will need it in the next step).
- Change the Action value from None to **Web
Drop/Delete**. (You must first drop the wait list registration to
prevent a duplicate CRN error.)
- Click the Submit Registration button.
- Type the CRN in the first box of the Add Classes Worksheet.
- Click the Submit Registration button.
- The enrollment Status will change from Wait List to **Web

needs to be taken.
