A Cardozo JD student may enroll in an ABA-approved summer or winter study abroad program hosted by another law school.
Many U.S. law schools operate ABA-approved summer or winter study abroad programs. Cardozo JD students are eligible to apply for these programs. Any student interested in studying abroad in a non-Cardozo summer or winter program must meet with the Dean of Students for approval prior to applying to the program.
Students approved for summer or winter study abroad should refer to the “Process for Transferring Credit” section in the Student Handbook for information about required forms and how transfer credits will apply to the transcript as well as the section above regarding policies applicable to all study abroad students.

Eligibility
Any Cardozo student is eligible to apply for a summer term or winter break abroad.
Credits earned during summer or winter study abroad cannot be used to accelerate a student’s JD program and will not count towards satisfaction of Core Course Requirements. Students will not be awarded more than 6 credits total for all summer and winter study.
Any student interested in studying abroad in a non-Cardozo summer program must meet with the Dean of Students for approval prior to application to the program. Among other things, care must be taken by students in selecting courses that do not duplicate course work taken at Cardozo. Non-Cardozo program credits will not count toward the student’s GPA.
ABA-Approved Programs
Please see the ABA website for a list of approved summer and winter intercession programs.
The National Jurist provides a searchable database of programs to assist students in identifying options, though it may not be completely up to date or accurate. Please also see the UNC's interactive summer study abroad map for helpful links to U.S. law school summer programs abroad.
