Visiting Students

As a general rule, students are required to complete 6 semesters of residence at one law school in order to earn a J.D. degree. Under exceptional circumstances, however, a student may be allowed to satisfy up to 2 semesters of this requirement by attending another ABA accredited law school as a visiting student.

Visiting students are not considered candidates for degrees from MU.

Students who wish to visit MU's School of Law must submit:

  • Application and the $55 application fee
  • A letter from the Dean of the law school you are currently attending stating you are:
    • in good standing
    • that they will accept the transfer of the credits you will earn at MU
    • if there any specific courses that you needed to take while at MU to complete your graduation requirements
  • An official copy of your law school transcript
  • A brief letter explaining why you would like to visit
