3. Eligibility Requirements; Certification To be able to apply for Level 2 Certification, does the student need to have passing grades for all third year law courses? If yes, is it safe to assume that the student may therefore be an incoming 4th year student? Or is it sufficient that the student is enrolled in the second semester of third year law courses to be able apply for Level 2 Certification notwithstanding probably that he or she has failing marks in other courses in first and second year levels? Is the student required to enroll in ALL third year law courses to qualify? So a student enrolled in the second semester of third year but not on full load of the third year law courses is not qualified, right?

For purposes of Level 2 (L2) certification application, the law student may do so if he/she is enrolled in the 2nd semester of third year law courses. If L2 certification is approved but law student fails his/her 2nd semester third year law courses, the L2 certification shall be deemed revoked. To be eligible for L2 Certification application, the student must have passed all first and second year law courses.
