Welcome to BC Law

This section of the website is designed for current students in our Master of Legal Studies (MLS) in Cybersecurity program. If you are an admitted or enrolling student, you may find additional onboarding resources on our Canvas Orientation site.


When to Register

  • Returning students: You will receive a registration day and time prior to registration. You may register for courses at any point between that time and the end of the drop/add period.
  • First-year students: Take a prescribed course-load, and registration is automatic for all courses other than the spring semester elective.


How to Register Online

Use the quick link above to access BC’s online course registration system, EagleApps. The system is also available in the Agora portal under “My Services.” Make a list of courses you intend to take, then use the tutorial link to learn the system and complete registration. For help understanding course requirements and offerings, see Course Selection Resources.


Scheduling Conflicts

Make sure to prepare second- and third-choice options in case of scheduling conflicts.


Registration Holds

Students may have a hold placed on their account due to missing immunizations or an unsettled student balance. Any holds on a student’s record will block course registration for that student. The student should contact the appropriate department to resolve the hold before proceeding.


Drop/Add

You may drop classes after the add/drop period, provided your course load does not fall below the credit minimum (outlined below). However, this may result in the receipt of a “W” (withdrawn) on your transcript. You may only add a class after add/drop with permission from both the professor and the Dean for Academic Affairs.


Credit Min/Max

  • Per-semester minimum: 3
  • Per-semester maximum: 12


Exams

All exam policies can be found in the Academic Policies and Procedures Handbook.


Accommodations

In compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, Boston College Law School will make reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities. Please visit the Accessibility page or contact Student & Academic Services (Stuart 308) for more information.
