Visiting Students

The admissions committee considers for admission students who wish to attend the William S. Boyd School of Law as visiting students after having completed a minimum of one year of legal study at an ABA-accredited law school (or an accredited Canadian law school), for no more than two semesters to earn credit for transfer to their home institution

Applicants must submit:

  1. a completed application form

  2. a $50 non-refundable application fee

  3. a personal statement no longer than three typewritten pages, which should include some discussion of why the applicant wishes to transfer to the Boyd School of Law

  4. a resume

  5. a CAS report containing a transcript summary and a record of LSAT scores

  6. a letter of good standing from the law school at which the applicant has studied, including class rank (if available), and

  7. an official law school transcript.

The admissions committee will assess visiting applicants using the same criteria as those used in assessing first-year applicants, as well as the applicant's performance in law school courses and the quality of the law school at which the applicant has studied. Application deadlines are July 1 for the fall semester, December 1 for the spring semester, and May 1 for the summer semester. A very limited number of visiting students are offered admission.
