All students are required to satisfy the upper-class writing requirement. Once you have completed the course intended to fulfill this requirement, please make sure to follow the steps below to initiate the approval process for the writing requirement (note- if you have already satisfied your writing requirement you do not need to resubmit):
Access the link to submit the writing requirement information on the Academic Services page of the TLS Intranet at https://intranet.law.tulane.edu/Depts-Offices/Academic-Services/Writing-Requirement-Approval-Request. Following are the steps to complete the online submission process:
1. Select the faculty member to approve your writing requirement from the pull down list.
2. Enter your student ID and class information.
3. Choose the Select button to upload the final copy of your paper (you must upload your paper).
4. Check the box indicating that you have reviewed the writing requirement information in the Student Handbook.
5. Click on Submit.
Your information and the paper will be routed to the professor for review and approval. Once the professor submits the approval, Academic Services will then have the information needed to mark the requirement as completed. Again, you would follow these steps after you have completed the course. Please do not send the request for approval before your final work product has been completed.
Please refer to Section V.D of the Student Handbook for information regarding degree requirements. A copy of the degree progress worksheet for JD students as well as LLM students may be found on the Academic Services page of the TLS Intranet.
