No third-year transfer students will be accepted; however, a third-year student may apply to attend the School of Law on Visiting Student status. Any applicant for transfer must submit, along with the application for admission, a letter signed by the dean of the student\u2019s current law school certifying that the applicant is a student in good standing and eligible to return to that school. A maximum of 32 semester credits or 45 quarter credits may be accepted for transfer credit. Only courses with grades of \u201cC\u201d (or equivalent) or better and which are equivalent to courses at HPU Law or which have acceptable course content may be accepted. The School of Law will not accept the transfer of the student\u2019s GPA from the previous law school for any reason.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HPU Students Visiting at Another Law School:<\/strong> After matriculation at the Kenneth F. Kahn School of Law, a student may transfer credits earned at another law school only with advance permission of the law school administration. Students should file a petition to transfer credits from another law school at least two months before the deadline to apply at the other school in order to guarantee a timely response. Petitions to transfer credits earned during a summer term at an ABA-approved law school will be reviewed by the law school administration on the basis of the appropriateness of the petition, taking into account the student\u2019s academic standing, and with regard to the specific courses proposed. Petitions to transfer credits earned at another ABA-approved law school during one or more regular academic terms (other than summer) will be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. A determination of \u201cextraordinary circumstances\u201d will be made by the law school administration on the basis of all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, whether the circumstances were unforeseeable at the time the student first enrolled at HPU, the nature of the circumstances, the number of credit hours already completed at HPU, the number of credit hours and specific courses proposed for the other law school, and the student\u2019s academic standing. In general, reasons related to finances, bar preparation, employment, or networking do not constitute \u201cextraordinary circumstances.\u201d In any case, the granting of any petition is also subject to approval of the specific courses proposed to be taken at the other law school. Only courses with grades of \u201cC\u201d (or equivalent) or better are eligible for transfer credit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABA Standard 510<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/law\/aba-standard-510\/\"><u>Student Complaint Policies<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In compliance with the American Bar Association (ABA) Standards and Rules of Procedure for the Approval of Law Schools, the Kenneth F.
