Students enrolled at other law schools who are interested in spending a semester or more at Penn State Dickinson while earning their law degrees from their home institutions may apply to enroll as visiting students. To apply, you must be in good academic standing at an ABA-approved law school, and you must complete our online application. There is no application fee to apply as a visiting student. Please note that the application for visiting students is available beginning May 1, with the end transmission date of July 15. Your application to enroll as a visiting student will be considered complete if, by July 15, you submit:
- a law school transcript showing all of your academic work;
- a letter of good standing from an academic dean at your home law school that also indicates your class rank, identifies any disciplinary charges that have been brought or are pending against you, grants permission for you visit away, and states that your home law school will accept the transfer of PSU-DSL credits;
- a copy of the banner page of your LSDAS report. This report should be on file at your home school;
- a copy of your official final transcript from your undergraduate degree granting school.
Decisions regarding visiting status are usually made in mid- to late-July.
Upon completing your enrollment with Penn State Dickinson, your home institution will require an official transcript from you. It is your responsibility to request your Penn State transcript and to be sure your home school receives it. Transcripts are sent after final grading is completed each semester.
