Applying as a Transfer Student, Visiting Student or Auditor

Admission as a Transfer Student

Students in good standing who attend law schools accredited by the American Bar Association may apply to transfer to Capital University Law School. The faculty requires students to complete one year of study prior to transferring unless there are compelling reasons for transfer prior to completion of a full year.

Capital will accept credit for most courses in which students have received at least a "C" or comparable grade. Transfer students must complete no fewer than 43 semester hours at Capital and must maintain a cumulative grade average of "C" (2.0) for work undertaken at Capital.

Transfer Student Application Instructions

1.  Complete Application.

2.  Submit application and $40 application fee.

3.  Sumbit a letter of good standing form the dean of the home law school.

4.  Arrange for an official transcript to be sent from home law school reflecting performance in all law school course work attempted. 

5.  Office of Admission will request an official copy of your LSDAS report. 

Admission as a Visiting Student

Capital University Law School welcomes applications from students who want to study on a visiting basis. Visiting status allows students to receive course-work credit at Capital for transfer back to their home schools. Acceptable course grades from Capital are added to students' regular law school transcripts and counted toward a degree at their home law schools.

Visiting Student Application Instructions

1.  Complete all non-essay sections of the application and submit $40 application fee.

2.  Provide a letter of good standing from the dean of the current law school.

Members of the bar and graduates from approved law schools may be admitted at the discretion of the dean to enroll as auditors. Usually, an auditor is expected to prepare all assignments and participate in classroom discussion, but take no examinations and receive no academic credit.
