Transfer Applicants
Each year, depending upon availability, St. Thomas University School of Law accepts a limited number of students with advanced standing. If you’ve completed the first year of full-time legal study at an ABA-approved law school and have done well, we invite you to apply for transfer to the School of Law.
Transfer students must satisfy the School of Law’s graduation requirements, which may necessitate taking one or more of the School of Law’s first-year courses. In general, transfer applicants are judged on the basis of academic achievement at their current institution as well as their writing ability and other factors relevant to first-year admissions.
Email admitme@stu.edu to request application materials.
The following items are required to complete the transfer application:
