Part-Time Student Apply/Check Status

NIU College of Law offers a small part-time day program: only 10 students per class are permitted to choose this option. The program usually takes four to five years to complete. Early application is encouraged.

A part-time student will take the same required courses as a full-time student, and a part-time student will need to take at least 9 credit hours each semester. Full-time students can become part-time and vice versa during their educational careers. Each semester, part-time students work directly with the Associate Dean for Student Services to determine their schedules and credit hours.

An applicant is first admitted to the full-time program and then considered for the part-time option. To apply for this program, see Full-Time Student Apply/Check Status.
