First-Year Students
First-year schedules will be determined for you, as you do not yet have access to online registration. Spring schedules will appear in the MySanDiego portal in late November (the Registrar will notify students when schedules are posted).
NOTE: We cannot process the registration of anyone with a financial hold from the Office of Student Accounts or a Health Center hold. Please make sure your account is in balance by:
- Logging in to MySanDiego,
- Navigating to the "Law Student" page, and
- Scrolling down to the "Registration Tools" channel (middle column) and clicking on "Registration Status" to see if there are any holds on your account.
Registration is not complete until tuition is cleared in Student Accounts. Registrations completed after the payment deadline will incur a $150 late fee. The Spring payment deadline for all students is 5 p.m. on Friday, January 9, 2026.
