Transfer Students
Students from ABA-approved law schools who have completed the first year of law school and are in
good academic standing may be considered in any semester for admission with advanced standing. An
application for admission with advanced standing should reach the Admissions Office at least six weeks
prior to the registration date of the semester. Transfer applicants will need to obtain a letter of good
standing and eligibility for readmission from the dean of the law school first attended. A transcript from the
student’s law school must also be provided, as well as a copy of the LSDAS report.
Transfer of credits earned at another law school will be decided on a case by case basis and will depend
upon the comparability of the curriculum of the law school from which the student is transferring to that of
MC Law. Transfer credits will be accepted only from ABA-accredited law schools. A student transferring
to MC Law from another law school may not receive more than 30 hours of credits. An applicant for
transfer will be advised as to what transfer credits will be accepted for credit at MC Law. Transfers are
permitted only if space is available. The dean may impose other restrictions in addition to those set forth
above. Additional information regarding residency requirements for transfer students are contained in
the Academic Information Section of this catalog. Transfer students are not officially ranked. However,
transfer students may request an unofficial class rank from the Director of School Records at the end of
each regular semester completed at MC Law.
MC Law does not have an established articulation agreement with any other law school.
