Transfer/Visiting Applicants

Elon Law will accept applications for transfer and visiting students who seek to enroll in the fall of 2008. In addition to complying with the general admission procedures, a transfer applicant must submit a letter of good standing and a transcript from their current law school, one of which should indicate the applicant’s current class rank. A student from a law school approved by the American Bar Association may be admitted to advanced standing as a candidate for a degree. To receive a law degree from Elon, a student must complete two-thirds (2/3) of the course work required for the degree at Elon. Credit for work done at other law schools is given at the discretion of the Dean. Because Elon’s program incorporates leadership training not available at most law schools, accepted transfer students must attend the leadership development portions of first-year orientation.

With the approval of the Admissions Committee, it may be possible for students from other law schools to matriculate at Elon as visiting students. Visiting students must have the permission of their home law school and must be in good academic standing at their home law school. They are limited to one year in residence at Elon. Visiting students will receive their law degrees from their home law school and will not be eligible for an Elon law degree. In addition to complying with the general admission procedures, a visiting applicant must submit a letter of good standing and permission to visit and a transcript from their current law school, one of which should indicate the applicant’s current class rank.
