Admission Process

Print
Candidates must have completed a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university prior to enrollment. All undergraduate majors are acceptable, with courses that emphasize critical reasoning, writing and communication skills recognized as good preparation for the study of law.


Please note that Transfers and Visitors and International applicants have separate requirements and should visit the appropriate page for additional information.

 

We begin taking applications for the following fall on October 1. Applicants are urged to apply before March 1 of the year they intend to enter law school. Applications received prior to May 15 will be given consideration on a space-available basis. Both full-time and part-time first-year students must start classes in the fall semester. Contact with applicants is done via e-mail.

Admission Decisions

Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. The Admission Committee begins its evaluation of files in December of the year before admission, with the majority of decisions made in the period from mid-January to mid-April. Every applicant will receive notification as to the status of the application (accept, hold, deny) shortly after the initial review by the Admission Committee.


Those applicants who are placed on hold by the Committee will be reconsidered in the spring after more information is available on the entire group of applicants. The most promising applicants remaining on hold after admission decisions are completed in the spring will be placed on a wait list and kept informed of their status over the summer months.

Upon acceptance

Admitted students will be required to reserve his or her place in the entering class with a tuition seat deposit, which is applied toward tuition for the first semester. The deadline will be stated on the letter of admission. Failure to meet the deadline will result in admission revocation. The seat deposit (for the fall term) is refundable if a written request for refund is received by June 1. Admitted students are also required to submit two official degree showing transcripts and passport-sized photographs. More information is given at the time of admission.
