How to Apply
Complete Application
All applicants must complete and submit the online application located on the Apply Now link located on our website.
Pay the Summer Law & English Program application fee
The Summer Law & English Program application fee is $100. If you are requesting housing, a separate $100 housing application fee is required. Please see Section 4 of the application for required housing fees. If you have been admitted to our LL.M. or M.C.L. Program, please follow the instructions included with your admissions packet to waive your $100 application fee.
You may either submit your $100 application fee online via credit card, OR you may send a check or money order drawn on U.S. currency to the address below. Payments may be made to “USC Law School”.
Prepare Your Financial Support Documents & Passport Copy
All applications must be sent with a financial statement that certifies sufficient funds are available to meet both your living (housing, meals, etc.) and program expenses while at USC (unless you are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or have been granted political asylum). Your financial statement must show a minimum of $5,500 ( U.S. ). If you are bringing your spouse and/or dependents, then you must add an additional $500 for your spouse and $250 for each child to the minimum amount on your Financial Support Form. Your financial statement can be provided in any of these forms:
-
A current personal bank statement or letter from your bank
-
A current letter of support AND bank statement from your parent, guardian, employer or sponsor
-
A scholarship letter from your government or sponsoring organization
Applicants must also send a copy of their passport (photo page).
If you have already applied to our LL.M. or M.C.L. Program, it is not required for you to re-send your financial support documentation and passport copy.
Deadline
Although there is no deadline to apply, program space and housing is limited. Admission is first-come, first-served. We recommend that you send all application documents by May 1, 2007 . If you apply later, please keep in mind that it may be difficult to get a visa due to time constraints. If you apply or complete payment after June 1, 2007, you will be assessed a $100 late fee.
