Transfer and Visiting Students
Transfer Students
Students who have completed at least one full year of study, approximately 30 semester credits, at a law school accredited by the American Bar Association may apply for admission to the Law School. We accept transfer applications for fall only. Applications are accepted after May 1 and must be received no later than July 1. Please clearly mark your application as a transfer application.
Transfer applicants must submit the following materials: completed application, application fee, LSDAS report, personal essay, and letter of recommendation from a current law professor. In addition, two official transcripts of all undergraduate and postgraduate work, including law school, must be sent directly to the Law School Office of Admissions.
In addition to the above, all transfer applicants must submit a letter from their law school dean stating that they are in good standing and eligible to continue at the law school from which they are transferring. Transfer applicants must provide a class rank or a normal grade distribution for the law school attended, if available.
Transfer students will be admitted on a space-available basis, generally a small number. The number of transfer students admitted varies each year. Only those who have done extremely well in their law studies (i.e., at least in the top 20 percent of their class) will have a substantial chance of being admitted.
We recognize that there may be small differences in credit hour requirements at various law schools so an admitted transfer student may need to take some extra coursework. A maximum of 45 transfer credits will be accepted for transfer.
Visiting Students
The Law School admits visiting students to study at the school for a semester or a year, but who will receive their law degree from their school of origin. Admission as a visiting student is available to second and third year students.
Visiting student applicants must submit a completed application, application fee, copy of their LSDAS report, personal essay, and letter of recommendation from a current law professor. Two official transcripts of all undergraduate and postgraduate work, including law school, must be sent directly to the Law School Office of Admissions. In addition, the dean of the school of origin must send a letter agreeing to accept work satisfactorily completed at the University of Colorado Law School for credit toward the student's law degree.
Admission as a visiting student entitles one to enroll in courses on a space-available basis. As a rule, financial aid for a visiting student is handled by a consortium agreement between Colorado Law and the degree-granting institution.
