Are law students permitted to participate in study abroad programs during the summer?
Yes, law students may receive credit for attending an ABA-approved summer abroad program offered by an accredited U.S. law school. Students will receive credit only for courses in which they receive a grade of C (or its equivalent) or better. Students who wish to enroll in a summer study abroad program must receive pre-approval from the Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs. The Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs will also determine the number of credits which may be transferred back to Drexel Law School upon satisfactory completion of the courses. Grades received in summer study abroad courses will not be used in the calculation of the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student should note that every law school sets their own admission policies for summer abroad programs and Drexel law students may or may not be eligible for admission to programs through other law schools.
