A student from another ABA-approved law school may be admitted as a transfer student with advanced standing.  Non-ABA accredited program credits and state-only accredited program credits are not accepted for transfer.  A student seeking admission as a transfer student must present satisfactory evidence that he or she would have been an acceptable applicant for admission to the School of Law when he or she began the study of law. A student who is not currently in good standing with his or her current law school will not be considered for transfer to NCCU School of Law.  In exceptional circumstances, a student who has been academically dismissed from another law school may be considered for admission as a new first-time law student, if two or more years have elapsed since the dismissal, by nature of interim work, activity, or studies indicating a strong potential for academic study.  

  Transfer student applicants to the part-time Evening Program have an additional concern in that there are limited scheduling options available in the Evening Program.  Students interested in transferring to the part-time Evening Program should contact the Assistant Dean for the Evening Program to determine if completion of law school can be done in a timely manner based upon coursework that they have already completed and requirements that must be met at NCCU School of Law.  A transfer student applicant who will not able to complete his or her J.D. within the time required by the American Bar Association (5 years for full-time students and 6 years for part-time students) cannot be offered admission as a transfer student.

  Only courses in which a grade was earned of ·C· or better will be accepted as transfer credit toward graduation requirements.  Two full semesters in residence are required for graduation and must immediately precede graduation.

  Transfer students are admitted as space allows. In addition to the application materials required of all applicants, a transfer student must submit the following items in order to be considered for admission:

• A letter of good standing from the current law school, stating that you have permission to visit and the conditions under which you will receive credit for the courses taken at NCCU School of Law; AND
