[Transfer Students]

Coursework may be transferred from another law school if (1) it was taken within 27 months preceding a student’s enrollment in Abraham Lincoln University, and (2) was completed at a school registered or accredited with the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California or at a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. 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.

To receive a degree from Abraham Lincoln University, the transfer student must complete a minimum of two complete academic years at ALU.

The University’s Admissions 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. To graduate from ALU, any law school courses with a grade below 2.0 taken by the transfer applicant prior to transfer admission to ALU must be retaken from ALU.

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