Visiting Students
A student in good standing at an ABA-accredited law school
is eligible to apply to George Mason for admission as a
visiting student. The student must obtain permission from
his or her home law school to attend George Mason as a visiting
student and confirmation that the credits earned will be
accepted as transfer credits at the home law school.
Permission to be a visiting student is granted only on
a semester basis. A student who visits during a fall or
spring semester, or during a summer term, may submit a written
request to renew his or her visiting status for an additional
semester or for a summer term (subject, of course, to permission
from the visitor's home law school). A student seeking to
continue visiting status need not repeat the entire application
process.
For the fall and spring semesters, visiting students must
carry a full course load of 8-11 credits (for part-time
study) or 12-15 credits (full-time study).
