Transfer Applicants
Elon University is accepting transfer applications for fall 2026 admission to its Full-Time (Greensboro) program through August 2026. Transfer applicants must comply with all general admission procedures. These applicants must submit a letter of good standing and a transcript from an American Bar Association approved law school. One of these documents must indicate the applicant’s current class rank. Students who are not in good academic standing at another law school may not transfer to Elon.
The Law School requires 86 credit hours for graduation. Transfer students are generally required to complete four full-time trimesters in residence at Elon Law and receive at least 56 credits toward the JD degree at the Law School. Up to 30 academic credits may be given for work at another law school. Course credit is generally awarded for work completed with a grade of C or higher.
