Transfer & Visiting Students

Transfer Students

The most important criterion is the law school academic record. Applicants should have completed one year (approximately 30 credits) of law school. Students enrolled part-time can be considered if they have completed at least 16 credits. We can accept up to 44 credits (with a grade of C or better) from ABA/AALS schools. We can accept up to 30 credits (with a grade of C or better) from ABA schools or state bar accredited schools. We also consider your LSAT score and your undergraduate grade point average in this process.
