Transfer/Visiting Applicants

Elon Law accepts applications for transfer and visiting students.  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. Because Elon’s program incorporates leadership training not available at most law schools, accepted transfer students may be required to attend the leadership development portions of first-year orientation, as well as the first and second year leadership courses, if applicable.

A transfer applicant or first-year applicant who has been academically dismissed from a law school must wait at least one year following this dismissal to apply for admission to Elon Law.  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 there.  They are limited to one year in residence at Elon. Visiting students will not be eligible for an Elon 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 home law school, one of which should indicate the applicant’s current class rank.
