School of Law and Graduate Students

Current law and graduate students at the University of Montana may register for courses as they normally would through Cyberbear. Program courses are offered through the School of Extended and Lifelong Learning (SELL) at the University of Montana. A flat fee of $650/credit will apply to each course. Students must take at least six credits to qualify for financial aid in the summer term. In addition, tuition waivers may not apply to the fees for summer courses.

Prerequisite Standards

Law students taking a course other than Indian Law Research or Mastering Indian Law must have taken a foundational or basic course in Federal Indian or Tribal Law or must also be taking Mastering Indian Law this summer. The director of the program may waive this standard upon a showing of good cause such as significant prior experience in Indian or tribal law or similar qualifications.

Visiting Students

In order to participate in the Summer Indian Law Program, a law student currently enrolled at another institution must fill out a summer application for admission. Our admissions office processes these applications and notifies each student of their status. Admitted students will be automatically notified when summer registration opens and instructed how to enroll in Summer Indian Law Program courses.

For questions about enrollment and registration, contact the Blewett School of Law Admissions Office at lawadmissions@umontana.edu or (406) 243-6169.

Approved by the Montana CLE Commission, each course will yield 5 credits (asynchronous remote) or 13.75 credits (all other courses) Montana CLE credits for current legal practitioners. Names of those attending for CLE credit will be submitted to the State Bar of Montana. Attendance at all sessions of the week's course is required for full CLE credit. There is a flat fee of $650 for each course except the new field course. Register on Eventbrite.
