The Graduate Legal Studies Committee may permit an applicant with a degree from an accredited law school to take graduate-level courses for credit without being admitted as a degree candidate. Credits so earned are recorded as non-degree credits. If the student earning non-degree credits is subsequently admitted as a degree candidate, the Graduate Legal Studies Committee shall, in its discretion, decide whether prior credits may be applied toward the LL.M. degree.

A graduate student at the University of Arkansas in a discipline other than law may enroll in the law school's graduate-level courses with the approval of the student's department, the dean of the university graduate school, and the director of the graduate law program.
