CUNY School of Law may admit a few special students who desire to study at the Law School for a semester or a year, but who will receive their degrees from their home law schools. Such students will be admitted only after completion of at least one year of satisfactory academic work at another ABA-approved law school, and must demonstrate compelling reasons for attending CUNY School of Law.

The following are required to apply for visiting admission:

• 2008 application;
• $50 non-refundable application fee;
• required personal statement;
• a separate statement indicating reasons for your request to attend as a visiting student;
• a photocopy of your complete LSDAS report and an official law school transcript mailed to CUNY directly from your "home" law school; and
• a letter mailed directly from your dean confirming you are in good standing and outlining the credits that the "home" law school will accept.

Visiting student applicants must also have two letters of recommendation mailed directly to CUNY from the recommenders: one academic letter from a law school professor and a character reference from someone with whom you have worked in the last three years.
