Visiting In Statement

A student who is a degree candidate at a Consortium law school (the "home school") may visit at another Consortium law school (the "host school"), provided that the visit has been approved by the dean of the home school and that the student has met the host school's requirements for visiting.

Limits on courses that may be taken and on the number of credits that will be transferred will be determined by the host school. A student who is approved for such a visit will pay tuition to the home school and will be treated as a student of the home school with regard to all financial aid, including merit—based scholarships. For the purpose of registration for courses, the student will be treated as a student of the host school and will be given the same priority in registration as a host—school student in the visiting student's year and division. If the visiting student is a member of the staff of the home school's law review or another publication, the student will continue to be considered a member of that staff during the visit. The host school will permit the visiting student to petition to be a member of the host school's law review or one of the host school's competition teams, but the host school's law review or competition team is under no compulsion to grant the petition.
