Find more information on LawGPE, applying and enrolling for LLB Part II, and Waipapa Taumata Rau core course.

If you have already been admitted to LLB part I, you do not need to reapply. However, if you wish to improve your grades in LAW 121G, LAW 131 and/or LAW 141, you can repeat these courses under a Certificate of Proficiency (COP). If you’ve already met the minimum grade requirements, repeating these courses Is not necessary.

If you did not pass LAW 121G, 131 and/or LAW 141, you can re-enrol in these courses. Special permission is required for a third time repeat. To request permission, please email undergradlaw@auckland.ac.nz with the following information:

1. Reasons why you did not pass the course on previous attempts
2. Whether you did not submit any assignments and why
3. What has changed or will change to ensure you pass on this attempt
4. Any supporting documentation for circumstances mentioned

Admission into LLB Part II is purely based on your LawGPA. If you repeat any of the LLB Part I courses, the best grade you have achieved in those courses will be factored into your LawGPA. Other grades from the same courses will be disregarded.

If you complete additional non-law courses, the recent most, best 75 points of non-law university courses will be taken into consideration.

Find more information on how the LawGPA is calculated for admission into LLB Part II.

If you do not repeat any courses or change majors, being admitted to LLB Part II later in your studies will not delay the completion of a conjoint degree. In some cases, you may be ahead in your other degree requirements and may finish them first.

If you decide not to continue with the LLB programme, in most cases, you can credit the three LLB Part I courses to your alternative degree. For advice and assistance with this, please contact a Student Hubs.
