Transfer and Visiting Students

Transfer Students

Transfer applications are considered from students who have completed their first semester of legal studies and are in good academic standing at an ABA-accredited law school. External credits will transfer in any class in which the student earned a grade of “C” or better; credits earned under a Pass/Fail grading system will not transfer. Grades associated with the credits accepted for transfer do not transfer and are not used in computing the student’s grade point average. Generally, no more than 30 transfer credits will be approved.
