| Non-U.S. applicants with a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in the United States are required to follow the same application procedures as for U.S. applicants, including subscription to the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). Those with graduate credits or an advanced degree from an accredited institution in the United States should arrange to have official transcripts forwarded to the Office of Admissions directly from the institution(s) attended.
A foreign applicant with a degree from a non-U.S. institution must demonstrate that the degree is equivalent to a bachelor's degree awarded by an accredited institution in the United States. All official transcripts should be sent to the Office of Admissions. Applicants from foreign institutions are responsible for providing translated copies of all academic transcripts that are not in English. Translations must be from a qualified translator and notarized. Applicants are required, also, to arrange for the evaluation of official transcripts and are responsible for any costs incurred in this process. The Office of Admissions will accept either certified translations with grade explanations or evaluations from World Education Services (WES), Inc.
Applicants must take the LSAT, which is given each year in February, June, September/October, and December. Students may register for any test date and still be considered for the upcoming class, as long as their applications can be completed in time. In the event that an application remains incomplete, it may be rolled over to the following year at no charge.
