2025 Deadlines
Priority deadline for WFU students to apply: January 24, 2025. After this date, we will open registration to non-WFU law students.
Final deadline for all students (WFU & Non-WFU) to apply and deposit: March 3, 2025
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. Spots are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis to students who have met the aforementioned criteria by the stated deadlines. 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
The summer study abroad program requires a minimum of 10 students to run. The law school will make a final determination regarding whether a program will be offered in March of each year based on the number of deposited students. Students should complete the application process by the stated deadline; however, do not purchase plane tickets or make additional financial commitments until confirmation is received.
