Admission as a Transient Student
With the consent of the Assistant Dean for Admissions, a student attending another law school may enroll in the School of Law as a transient student for the summer session if he or she presents a Statement of Good Standing from the school he or she is attending and demonstrates good cause. A law student who has not completed the first year of study may not enroll as a transient summer student.
A student may be allowed to register as a visiting student during the long session if good cause is shown and if he or she presents a competitive record and receives permission from his or her law school to enroll in the School of Law in order to earn credit toward a degree to be granted by his or her home school. A transient student may earn no more than thirty-two semester hours of credit in no more than three semesters (roughly the equivalent of one year's maximum course load); he or she must maintain a grade point average of at least 1.90 in all law courses taken during any semester. Because of limited space at the law school, only a few requests for transient status during a long session are granted each year.
Application forms and instructions are available at the Admissions Office website and from the Law School Admissions Office, 727 East Dean Keeton Street, Austin, TX 78705-3299.
