Next Steps

1. Once the Office of Admission receives your visiting student application, letter of good standing and letter of permission from your home school you will receive an email confirmation from a member of our team.
2. The Capital IT Department will email you directions to set up your CapLaw email and student portal called MyCap.
3. The Law Registrar will follow up to let you know if you have been placed into the selected course(s), which is based on class availability. 

Financial Aid for Visiting Students

Capital University Law School does not generate financial aid awards for visiting students. If you plan to utilize financial aid to cover the cost of attendance, you must ask your financial aid office to mail or email a consortium agreement directly to Capital University Law School Office of Financial Aid. A financial aid officer will complete the Consortium Agreement by verifying the cost of attendance, dates of attendance, and enrollment status for the visiting term. Once the form is completed and returned, your home institution will send your funds directly to our Financial Aid Office to be applied toward your tuition charges.
