Admission Policy

Special Student Status

Graduate students

Graduate students who wish to take an advanced course in the College of Law in support of their academic program in another college at Georgia State University , and graduate students at other accredited institutions or those equivalent to the same at foreign institutions, may apply for admission as special students. Any such students later admitted to the college as students in a law degree program may not count toward the degree any credits earned as a special student.

• A completed online application, paying the non-refundable $50 application fee.
• A letter from the dean of your college stating that you are currently in good standing and eligible to return to the graduate program.
  The dean must authorize attendance and agree to accept transfer credit from the College of Law.
• An official transcript of your graduate work.

Attorneys

An attorney admitted to the Bar of Georgia or another state may apply for admissions as special student, but in that capacity may only audit courses at the college. Attorneys subsequently admitted to the college, as a student in a law degree program, may not count toward the law degree any course credits received while in special student status.

The online application, paying the non-refundable $50 application fee. Provide a copy of your law school transcript confirming the degree and proof of your current Bar membership. Provide a letter from the law professor teaching the class you wish to attend, granting you permission to take the course.
