If you are a transfer student:
Complete an application for admission to Sinclair, if you haven’t already done so. Have transcripts from other colleges sent directly to Registration & Student Records, Building 10.

Complete the PAR application form and return to Room 5-141. You will receive notice of your status from the Paralegal Coordinator. When planning your schedule, please keep in mind that there is limited enrollment for PAR 105 and 106. Because these courses are offered only fall and winter quarters, you will want to start admission procedures as early as possible. Once you meet eligibility requirements for admission into the Paralegal Program and have been approved by the Paralegal Admissions Chairperson, or Secretary, you should sign up for these courses as soon as registration begins. You must take PAR 105 and 106 at the same time and complete both of them before you are permitted to enroll in any other paralegal course.
If you have any additional questions regarding admission into the Paralegal Program, please contact Kelly Askey, the Paralegal Admissions Coordinator, at (937) 512-2769, jane.moix@sinclair.edu, or stop by Room 5-141 between the hours of 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
