On-Campus Attendance Requirement

Depending on which state’s bar exam(s) you plan to take, the on-campus requirement varies from 10 to 15 credits. For the first four semesters, each student will come to campus for a week at the beginning and end of each semester. For the remaining semesters, on-campus attendance requirements vary based on course selection, but it is unlikely that more than one week-long visit to campus per semester will be required
