Admitted Student Day
Thank you for visiting Cumberland School of Law’s Admitted Student Day page. The 2023 Admitted Student Day event on campus will take place on March 31.
This page serves as a supplement to the on campus event and is aimed at providing admitted students and families with resources and documents that provide answers to some questions frequently asked on Admitted Student Day. We hope that you find these resources helpful as you select your law school home. Please check your email for instructions on how to join the private Facebook group for admitted students, so that you can join the discussion and have your questions answered. We are thrilled you are considering becoming part of the Cumberland School of Law family, and we hope to see you in the fall.
