The admissions office begins accepting applications on September 1 of each year. Elon Law offers a rolling admissions process: applications will be accepted and considered as long as seats are available in the class. Due to our rolling admissions process, it is better to apply early in the admissions cycle. The admissions process becomes more competitive as additional applications are received and the number of available seats in the class decreases. Those who wish to be considered for merit-based scholarships are strongly encouraged to apply by March 15.

Elon Law offers two decision cycles: Binding Early Decision (Full-Time Greensboro Only) and Regular Decision. Binding Early Decision Full-Time Greensboro candidates must submit their complete applications by December 7. Under the Regular Decision option, applications must be electronically submitted via the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) by July 15. All required materials must be submitted by the deadline for consideration.

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ should apply online by using the electronic application process provided by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). It is free to create an account on LSAC’s website and to apply to Elon Law.

Elon Law does not require that its students have a specific major in college to apply for law school. In fact, each entering class generally has more than 30 different college majors represented! We suggest that you engage in a well-rounded education that allows you to develop critical and analytical thinking, reading comprehension, writing, as well as communication skills and abilities.

Yes. You are encouraged to update your contact information and upload addenda via your Interactive Student Portal (ASO Portal) such as an updated resume, letters of continued interest, etc.

All community college, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ, graduate, law, and/or professional school transcripts must be submitted through the LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Before you enroll, we must receive an official transcript with your degree conferral from your bachelor’s degree-granting institution through LSAC.

Elon Law now offers a Part-Time/Flex program with evening classes at our regional campus in Charlotte, NC. The Greensboro campus does not offer a part-time program.

No. Applicants are required to select their program choice between Full-Time and Part-Time/Flex. Our Part-Time/Flex program is geared primarily towards working professionals looking for an in-person experience in Charlotte. Our Full-Time programs are geared towards students looking for an accelerated 2.5-year pathway to their JD.

Full-Time applicants will indicate their campus preference (Greensboro, Charlotte, or No Preference) and will be matched to a location. For more information about our Full-Time ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ Assignment Policy, please view the page here.

At Elon Law, Full-Time 1L students are prohibited from working during their first year of law school. Our program is accelerated (2.5-years) and intensive. Full-Time students may work part-time after completing their first year of law school.

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ who would like to work while enrolled in law school are encouraged to consider our Part-Time/Flex Charlotte program. Part-Time/Flex students are not prohibited from working during law school.

One-year deferrals may be available on a case-by-case basis for admitted applicants. To obtain a deferral, a written request should be submitted to the Admissions Committee at lawadmissions@elon.edu.

Elon Law does not have a requirement for a minimum LSAT or GRE score nor a minimum grade point average (GPA) to apply. To be a strong candidate for admission, an applicant must have a competitive LSAT or GRE score and a solid GPA as indicated by Elon Law’s most recent median statistics. When evaluating an applicant’s ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ GPA, the Admissions Committee considers many factors as part of a holistic admissions process.

The LSAT is offered multiple times each year. Generally, students must register 6+ weeks in advance for the LSAT, so please plan your test date accordingly to meet the required application deadlines for Elon Law. The latest LSAT administration date that we accept is November for Binding Early Decision applicants or June for Regular Decision applicants. Please see the for more information about the LSAT and specific testing dates for the current year.

The GRE is offered through ETS throughout the application cycle. ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ can for the exam and receive scores 8-10 days after the exam. If you have a valid LSAT score(s), a score on the GRE will only be considered in addition to the LSAT score, not in place of a score. All valid LSAT scores are required to be submitted.

Yes. Applicants are encouraged to submit their application and to complete as much of the application as they can as soon as possible. Likewise, even while awaiting a score, an applicant can request that letters of recommendation and all transcripts be sent to LSAC. When LSAT or GRE scores become available, LSAC can send a CAS report to the law school, and the Admissions Committee can move forward with considering the application. The Admissions Committee cannot release decisions until an application is complete.

For an applicant who has multiple LSAT scores, the admissions committee primarily considers the highest score (within the last 5 years) but may also consider an applicant’s LSAT average.

If you have a valid LSAT score(s), a score on the GRE will only be considered in addition to the LSAT score, not in place of a score. All valid LSAT scores are required to be submitted.
