2024-2025 Student Handbook

due to the timing of grade releases, students who were initially in good standing at the time the visit was approved may fail to remain in good standing while already participating in a visiting session. Students who are no longer in good standing are not eligible to transfer credits into Suffolk Law School from the visiting program. If a student is given permission to transfer credits to Suffolk University Law School in accordance with one of the above exceptions, credits will transfer only for pre-approved courses in which the student receives a grade of 2.00 or better on a 4.00 scale (or its equivalent). In addition, no grades received at another school will appear on th e student’s Suffolk transcript and the grades received at the other school will be recorded as “T” (transfer) and will not be calculated into the student’s Suffolk grade point average. However, the names of the courses for which credit transferred, the corresponding credit amounts, and name of the school the student visited will appear on the student’s Suffolk transcript. Transcripts must be submitted by the visiting school in which the student is enrolled for each semester to the Assistant Dean for Academic Services. Transcripts must be submitted no later than January 15 for the fall semester and no later than the Friday prior to Commencement for students graduating in May, without prior approval from the Assistant Dean for Academic Services. Transcripts not received on time for graduating students without prior approval will postpone the student’s graduation to the next regularly scheduled graduation date. Students are encouraged to report this information to the visiting school upon acceptance as a visiting student.

Approved students must meet all other requirements and deadlines set at the time of their approval to study at another law school.

International students may be subject to limits on visiting-out due to student visa issues. Accordingly, any international student wishing to visit-out under this policy should first consult International Students Services.

Students given permission to transfer credits to Suffolk University Law School are solely responsible for determining and meeting the admission, tuition and other requirements of the school they visit.

This policy does not apply to participation in any Suffolk sponsored international program or in the Law School's International Internship Program.
