This is your fourth year of Memorial Law and Public Policy!

You are nearly at the finish line. The end is nigh! To get the most from your last year with us, make sure to do the following:
  
A checkmark Book an appointment with your HSS Academic Advising Office to make sure that you’re on track for graduation.
A checkmark Review your general degree map to get tips on tackling general BA requirements, studying, safety and wellbeing, career advice, and so on.
A checkmark Enrol in at least two Law and Public Policy courses at the 4000 level (6 credit hours) and complete any outstanding credit requirements for your Major and Minor.
A checkmark Want to be remembered for that top notch legal brief policy proposal you wrote? Then consider submitting it for publication in Mapping Politics, the Memorial student journal. Course papers that earn high grades can also be submitted for consideration for various awards, like the Clyde K. Wells Prize or the Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Prize. Some of thes awards require faculty to nominate students. So, let your professors know if you think you’re a good candidate for these awards.
A checkmark If you're in need of part-time employment, look to see if there are any positions available on MUCEP—Memorial's Undergraduate Career Experience Program—that fit your interests and expertise. This can be a great way of also meeting fellow students and faculty, while building your resume.  
A checkmark Keep in touch with the Newfoundland and Labrador Speech and Debate Union and the Memorial University Debate Society, where you can get coaching in public speaking and legal argument. Now that you are in your fourth year, consider taking on a leadership role in these organizations  (hint: it looks great on law and grad school applications!).
A checkmark Need references? If you’re contemplating law school, graduate school, or internships after your BA degree, you will need strong reference letters from faculty. Think of contacting professors who can speak to the quality of your work, based on your performance in their class.
A checkmark Connect with your P.A.L.S.—the Politics and Law Society—which represents Political Science and Law and Public Policy undergraduate students in the department. Now that you are in your final year, consider taking on a leadership role in the society and mentor junior cohorts of Law and Public Policy students following in your path!
