Transfer Students

Based on availability, admission is offered to qualified candidates for transfer from other ABA-approved law schools. In general, candidates must have completed one academic year and be in good standing to be considered. A maximum of 43 semester hours of advanced standing credit will be awarded for course work completed at an ABA-approved law school, as determined by the Office of Academic Affairs following an offer of admission. Advanced standing will not be assigned for work completed with a grade below "C" or its equivalent, or for work completed in pre-admission programs, or for work not completed at an ABA-approved law school.
