A law student who has completed not more nor less than one year
(approximately 30 semester hours) at an ABA-accredited law school and is
in good academic standing may apply to be admitted as a transfer
student.
Transfer applications for the fall semester are usually received in May
through August. Admission decisions are made shortly after the required
application materials (especially transcripts) are received.
Credit given for prior law school work will be determined by the
associate dean of the School of Law.
Admission will be based on undergraduate GPA, LSAT, law school grades,
competition, and availability of space.
Before your application for transfer admission can be considered, the
following items must be received:
-
A completed application form.
-
A cover letter explaining reasons for seeking transfer to The
University of Akron School of Law (2 pages or less, typed,
double-spaced).
-
An LSDAS Report (visit
www.lsac.org
or call 215.968.1001 to pay any necessary fees; additional LSDAS
reports are approximately $13 each).
-
A letter from the dean, registrar, dean of students, or other
appropriate law school official indicating your
current class ranking and that you are in good academic standing.
-
An official, original law school transcript showing all grades
earned through the semester leading up to your transfer to Akron.
If you are admitted as a transfer student, we will require copies of outlines and syllabi
from all courses completed in order to determine which classes will
transfer. You may wish to compile this information soon after you apply
in the event that you are admitted. Please contact the Admissions Office at 800.4.AKRON.U (800.425.7668) or
lawadmissions@uakron.edu
if you have any questions. |
