Visiting Students
Students in good standing at other American Bar Association-approved law schools and most California Bar Examiner-approved law schools (if WASC accredited), may be permitted to register for courses at Western State.
To apply for admission as a visiting student, the following materials must be submitted to Western State’s Admissions Office:
- Application for Admission (NO Application Fee)
- Letter from the dean or registrar of the current law school indicating that the student is in good standing, that there are no disciplinary actions pending or currently on file, and granting approval to take the desired course(s) at Western State. The letter must also indicate which semester(s) the applicant has permission to attend.
- Official transcript from the current law school indicating grades earned
Please note: The letter of permission/standing and transcript must be sent directly to the Admissions Office at Western State by the applicant's current institution.

Financial Aid
Students from other US law schools who have been accepted as a visiting student at Western State (receiving their JD degree from their home institution), and who need financial aid to meet their educational costs, must arrange with their home institution for the processing of their financial aid. Please remember that Western State will not process any financial aid for the visiting student. The student’s home institution may forward the financial aid proceeds to our Financial Aid Office to be applied toward the student’s Western State tuition and fee charges or may send proceeds directly to the student. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at (714) 459-1119 to arrange for tuition payment and applicable deadlines.
