What is the requirement for providing confirmation of receiving a Bachelor’s Degree?

Once admitted, a candidate must provide a degree conferred transcript prior to the first day of class if the degree was conferred after submitting the application to the law school. If official transcripts are not received by the first day of class for the fall semester, Student Services shall be notified and shall allow a reasonable time for the student to provide the official transcript, but no later than October 15th for students beginning in the Fall semester.  For students beginning in the Spring semester, the official transcript must be received no later than the first day of class or by four weeks after the semester begins.


If the official transcript is not received by these deadlines, the student will be permitted to complete the current semester then in progress, but will not be permitted to register for courses in a subsequent semester absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.  This restriction may include canceling a student’s existing course registration for the subsequent semester, placing the student on a leave of absence, or administratively withdrawing the student following the completion of the current semester then in progress.  A student will be eligible to return to the law school and resume their legal education once the official transcript is submitted provided the student meets all other requirements to continue in law school.
