Admissions: Events

The Admissions Office typically encourages all interested JD, LLM, and SJD students to stop by and visit, however our campus is currently closed to visitors in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We believe campus visits are a great way to experience first-hand GGU Law's diverse community, as well as interact with GGU Law's wonderful faculty and staff - you are still able to do so virtually! Prospective students may take a virtual campus tour, guided by one of our admissions counselors. The Admissions Office is also pleased to connect you with important student support office, faculty members and student leaders in our community.  Please contact the Admissions Office at lawadmissions@ggu.edu to make your connections today.

Register Online for a campus tour and/or class visit. Meetings with an admissions counselor are only available during Monday through Friday, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm.

Please make a special request if your pre-law group or other student association would like to schedule a virtual visit to San Francisco for a virtual group tour of our campus, or request a visit from a GGU Law representative. We're happy to accommodate your needs.

GGU Law currently hosts virtual Information Sessions and Open Houses for prospective students who want to learn more about the application process and the law school's innovative curriculum. We hope to resume our on campus information sessions as soon as federal and local guidance suggests it is safe and advisable to do so.
