ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING

 

Transfer students are admitted in the fall semester of their second year.
Transfer students are admitted only when the College of Law’s facilities and curriculum permit. All decisions on transfer applications are made by the Admissions Committee.

Requirements for Admission with Advanced Standing:

The law school from which the applicant wishes to transfer must be on the approved list of law schools of the American Bar Association.

The applicant must be in good standing and eligible to continue his/her studies at the original law school.

Transfer applicants must have received a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 on a 4.00 scale for all law courses undertaken at the original law school.

An updated Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) report will be requested from Law Services showing the applicant’s undergraduate GPA, LSAT score, and law school matriculation. The applicant must have a current subscription to the LSDAS.

Application Procedures for Admission with Advanced Standing:

Submit a University of Wyoming College of Law Application for Admission by July 1.

A letter submitted directly to the UW College of Law from the Dean or other approved official of the original law school stating that the applicant is in good standing and eligible to continue his/her studies.

Have an official transcript from each law school attended sent directly to the UW College of Law. The transcript must include the grades received in the last term or semester that the applicant intends to complete at that school. No decisions will be made until a final transcript has been submitted.

If the last semester class rank is not included on your transcript it must be included in your letter of good standing.

Note:
No more than two semesters of residence credit and no more than 30 semester credit hours may be transferred from another law school. Transfer credit will not be given for courses in which a grade below “C” or its equivalent was received. Applicants who exceed these figures will be admitted only in exceptional cases and will only be able to transfer two semesters of resident credit or 30 semesters of credit hours, whichever is less.

Applicants admitted must satisfy the requirements for graduation established by the University of Wyoming College of Law including such other requirements as may be imposed as a condition of admission.
