ADMISSION WITH VISITING STATUS

 

Visiting students are admitted only when the College of Law’s facilities and curriculum permit. Decisions will be made by the Admissions Committee.

Requirements for Admission with Visiting Status:

The law school at which the applicant is currently enrolled 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.

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

Application Procedures for Admission with Visiting Status:

Submit a University of Wyoming College of Law Application for Admission during the semester prior to when the visiting applicant wishes to enter the College of Law.

Submit a personal essay as mentioned in the application form addressing the applicant’s reasons for wanting to visit at the College of Law.

A letter must be 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. This letter must also include what, if any, degree requirements remain to be completed.

A Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) report showing the applicants undergraduate GPA and LSAT score. A copy of the LSDAS report that is on file at the law school the applicant is currently attending will satisfy this requirement.

Official transcript from each law school attended must be 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 final class rank is not included on your transcript it must be included in your letter of good standing.
