The summer session of 1894 saw two students enroll, and in fall 1894, twelve students enrolled. From that point forward, enrollment grew and eventually the School of Law required its own registrar's office.</p> <p>Today the School of Law's Registrar's Office administers course schedule, course registration, examinations, and collection and distribution of grades. The Registrar's Office also maintains student records, including tracking degree requirements, and issues transcripts and other certifications of attendance.</p> <p>Sources:</p> <list> <item>"Celebrating 125 Years," <title render="italic"><part>Wake Forest Law.</part></title> Available online at <ref actuate="onrequest" href="https://law.wfu.edu/stories/2019/125-years/" show="new">https://law.wfu.edu/stories/2019/125-years/</ref></item> </list> <p>"Registrar's Office," Wake Forest Law.
