[Transfer Students]

Coursework may be transferred from another law school if (1) it was taken within the 27-months preceding a student’s enrollment in the University, and (2) was completed at a school registered or accredited with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California. Transfer students are responsible for supplying the University with official transcripts of the previous law schools attended.

Students transferring from other law schools may be interviewed by the Dean to further assess their previous performance in their legal studies and potential success in our program.

A California State Bar Evaluation will also be required.

The minimum amount of satisfactory study which may be completed at ALU by a transfer student, in order to receive a degree from ALU, is two full years.

The University’s Acceptance Committee will determine whether a potential student has the capability to perform graduate level academic work. There are numerous factors to be considered in making this determination.

The Academic Standards Committee must approve the admission of any transfer student whose grade point average at law school prior to coming to ALU was below 2.0. Any law school courses taken by the transfer applicant prior to transfer admission to ALU, which received a grade below 2.0, must be retaken at ALU in order to graduate from ALU.

Students wishing to enter ALU as transfer students will only be accepted from Common Law jurisdictions.
