Visiting Students
Other Colleges at Michigan
State University
A student who has a cumulative grade point average of at
least 3.00 and has successfully completed 29 credits at the law
school may take up to six hours of elective credits in professionally
related graduate level courses at other colleges at Michigan
State University. Grades from these courses will be accepted
on a Pass/Fail basis (which will count toward the maximum of
five total hours of Pass/Fail credits under the rules of the
Law College). Any student wishing to take graduate courses at
other colleges at MSU must acquire the prior approval of the
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Other Law Schools
With the permission, and at the discretion of the Law College,
a student may attend another ABA- and AALS-approved law school
as a visitor during a regular semester for compelling circumstances
only. Neither financial exigency nor the desire to live or practice
in another jurisdiction is a compelling circumstance. Permission
to visit during the summer at an out-of-state law school or foreign
summer program of an approved U.S. law school will be liberally
granted. Visitation at an in-state law school will be granted
only for courses not offered regularly at Michigan State University
College of Law. Only elective credits may be taken at another
law school. Only grades of "C" or better will be given
credit. All grades will be treated the same as grades earned
at MSU Law. Application should be made to the Associate Dean
for Academic Affairs or the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
