Eligibility
The best part: Pathway to Law is open to ALL areas of study! There are no major requirements to be able to participate in the program.
As long as you are a current Delta College student in good academic standing (you are not on academic probation or suspension), then you eligible for Pathway to Law!
Requirements
To qualify as a “Cal-LAW Scholar” you must:
- Be currently attending San Joaquin Delta College
- Maintain good academic standing
- Attend Pathway to Law activities and field trips
- Complete all prerequisites of your major and successfully transfer
- Successfully complete the Required Pathway Courses with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Note: While the program encourages a diversity of students to prepare for a wide range of law-related careers, it should be noted that students interested in becoming an attorney will need to develop a relatively high GPA (often above a 3.0) with strong reading, writing, and critical thinking skills as you prepare for the rigors of law school and the bar exam.
