How do I apply as a transfer law student?
Currently not accepting applications
Transfer students must use the application available on this website (top of page). Do not apply via LSAC. We are unable to pull any materials submitted to LSAC.  

When do you begin accepting transfer applications?
Transfer applications are accepted starting May 1 and must be completed no later than July 1. We only offer fall admission for transfer applicants. During the transfer application cycle, we will accept application materials, but we will not begin to review any transfer applications until spring grades and 1L class rankings have been received.

What are the qualifications for transfer? 
Currently not accepting applications
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 Colorado Law. We recognize that there may be differences in credit hour requirements at various law schools that may result in the need to take some extra coursework. Our Registrar will complete a credit evaluation of your current law school transcript if you are offered admission. We will accept a maximum of 44 transfer credits.
