Third-year law students attending American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law schools in good standing may apply as guest students to earn credit to transfer back to their degree-granting institution. A second-year law student may apply as a guest student under special circumstances. Guest students may earn no more than 32 credit hours from the College of Law and attend for no more than three semesters (including summer).

Deadlines to Remember

July 1	Application deadline for Fall semester
December 1	Application deadline for Spring semester
April 1	Application deadline for Summer semester

All required documents must be submitted through CAS except for your letter of good standing, letter of rank and letter of permission. Do not send any other documents directly to our office unless specifically requested to do so.

Things to Know:

• Application along with all required documentation must be in by the deadline.
• Personal interviews are not granted but you can schedule to attend an Information Session.
• Submission of supplemental materials subsequent to your initial application is strongly discouraged. This includes application addendums and replacement items.

Note: The College of Law allows guest applicants to enroll for summer semester, but please be aware that many courses are limited enrollment and Georgia State students have first priority. Also, we cannot guarantee early grades for guest students in order to meet the graduation deadlines of their home institution.
