The school received a decision from the ABA that it was in compliance with the Standard 501(b) and Interpretation 501-1. This comes after a letter earlier in the year from the ABA said it was out of compliance with regards to admissions.

School leaders appeared at the ABA's meeting last month to present documentation and evidence related to the actions put in place by the school related to its admissions policy and practices.

NCCU Chancellor Dr. Johnson Akinleye said in a message: "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the ABA for rendering a favorable decision and members of the NCCU School of Law community for their hard work and diligence over the past several months. As our School of Law embarks on its 80th year of providing high quality legal education to citizens of North Carolina and beyond in 2019, we are reminded of the legacy of leaders that we have produced and will continue to educate in the years to come.”
