Registration Forms and Deadlines
How to Apply. The law school offers three programs. To reserve your place in the programs, you must complete the registration form and return it to the Law Registrar's office along with either a $300 nonrefundable deposit for one program or a $600 nonrefundable deposit for two programs. The nonrefundable deposit will be applied against your tuition. An eligible law student may enroll in the London program and then go to either the Venice or Vienna programs, taking two courses for six credits over the two months in Europe.

Assumption of risk and release form
All Wake Forest law students and law students from other law schools should download and print the Assumption of Risk and Release Form which you must complete, sign and turn in with your registration. This form is a legal document, so please read it carefully.
FERPA form
Non-Wake Forest law students should download and print the FERPA Form which you must complete and sign. This form permits you to give your consent for the release of specified records that may assist you in making applications or be of benefit to you for other purposes. This form also permits you to limit the release of directory information about you. This form does not restrict the release of information as provided by FERPA; it does, however, permit you to authorize the release of information that cannot otherwise be released without your consent. In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (“FERPA”), it is the policy of the Law School generally to maintain the confidentiality of students’ education records, and not to release these records to third parties unless the student consents in advance or release is authorized by FERPA.
Deadlines
You should submit your application with a non-refundable deposit. Students submitting applications and deposits by 5pm on Friday, November 20, 2009 will be given priority over those who register at a later date. If there are more Wake Forest students making their deposits during the registration period than there are places in the programs, first preference will be to make certain as many students as possible get to go to at least one program. Then a lottery will be held to create an initial waiting list. The balance of tuition for the programs in which you are enrolled is April 9, 2010.
