Deadlines

Priority deadline for WFU students to apply: Wednesday, January 25, 2023. After this date, we will open registration to non-WFU law students.

Final deadline for all students (WFU & Non-WFU) to apply:  Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

Please note that we cannot hold or award a spot in the program unless a student has met the eligibility requirements,  submitted all required application materials, and the deposit and application fee (for non-WFU students) have been received. Furthermore, spots are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis to students who have met the aforementioned criteria. If there are more Wake Forest students submitting registrations than there are spots in the program, a waiting list will be created.

Program Confirmation Dates

Each program requires at least 10 students to participate. The law school will make a final determination on whether a program will be offered on Monday, March 6, 2023. You may continue with the application process, however, you should not purchase plane tickets or make other financial commitments until you receive this confirmation from the International Graduate Programs Office.
