Admitted Students

Now is the time to take a second look at all your admission documents and inform the admissions office of any updates or changes.

Make sure you are ready for the start of classes.

You got into CWSL, now comes funding your legal education. Our Financial Aid Office helps eligible students obtain federal and private student loans, but you have to first apply for financial aid through the FAFSA website. Feel free to reach out to the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about the financial aid process.

Learn about the CWSL campus, student culture, law school and San Diego. Schedule an in-person or virtual campus tour.

We are committed to helping make this transition as smooth as possible. Connect with an admissions counselor for an overview of what it’s like to be a student at California Western.

Feel comfortable in the place you will be calling home for at least the next three years. Explore what San Diego has to offer beyond our great law school. Visit our housing page for details on San Diego neighborhoods you may want to live in.

Generally, instruction for CWSL courses will be provided in person at the school’s San Diego campus. However, some courses may be provided at other designated locations, if determined to be appropriate or necessary for the course (e.g., clinic courses). Instruction and services may also be changed, at any time, to a remote format. This may be done short term or, if doing so is determined to be appropriate for health and safety or other contingencies, for longer periods of time. Any such modifications will be made in accordance with all applicable ABA Standards.

Digital tools are a key part of your course materials. We therefore recommend that students purchase a new laptop computer for law school. CWSL recommends and supports laptop computers with the following minimum specifications.

You are ready to enroll at CWSL. Secure a seat in the upcoming class by submitting your seat deposit. Please refer to the instructions that were emailed to you or your admission letter for further information regarding how to submit your seat deposit.

Now that you have secured your seat, you can take a look through our online store to purchase some CWSL merchandise ahead of the semester.
