TRANSFER ADMISSION POLICY
Admission as a transfer student to the School of Law is competitive. To be considered
for transfer admission, an applicant must be in good standing at a law school accredited
by the American Bar Association (ABA), including provisionally-approved schools, at
the time of transfer. Students interested in transferring should submit a completed
application along with a $25.00 application fee. A completed application for transfer
consists of:
-
CAS report
-
Letter of good standing from the law school dean
-
Official document stating class rank
-
Official transcript of credits earned from all previously attended law schools
-
Letter of recommendation from a current law school professor
-
Personal statement addressing the applicant's interest in and reasons for transferring
to the University of Memphis School of Law
The dean or the dean's designate will make transfer-application decisions after reviewing
the completed transfer application and after considering the number of places available
in the class. To be eligible for transfer, the student must have successfully completed
at least one year of law study at an ABA-approved law school or ABA provisionally-approved
law school before transferring to the University of Memphis School of Law.
Once admitted, transfer credit earned in each course must be at least equal to the
overall grade point required for graduation by the University of Memphis School of
Law.
In conformity with the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the University
of Memphis School of Law may grant a transfer student academic credit up to the equivalent
of three semesters for full-time students or up to the equivalent of four semesters
for part-time students for work successfully completed at another AALS-accredited
law school, and two semesters for full-time students or 2.6 semesters for part-time
students for work successfully completed at a non-AALS school.
The deadline for transfer applications is July 15.
