Transfer Admission

Make Your Move

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University accepts transfer students from other ABA-approved law schools. Students must submit a formal application for consideration.

Transfer students are those who have satisfactorily completed at least one year of law study at a law school approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) and are in good academic standing. Candidates in good standing from a non-ABA approved law school granted the power to confer the JD degree by the appropriate governmental authority in the unapproved law school’s jurisdiction, or candidates of a non-ABA approved law school who are permitted to sit for the bar examination in the jurisdiction in which the school is located may also apply for transfer status. Enrolled transfer students from ABA Approved schools will receive a maximum of 30 transfer credits for the coursework previously completed. Candidates from non-ABA approved US law schools, receive no more than 29 credits. For the deadlines for entry to each term and other important dates please view our Admissions Calendar.

Submission Requirements

Transfer applicants are required to submit:

  1. Online Law School Application
  2. Resume
  3. LSAT test score and a current Credential Assembly Service report
  4. A typed personal statement explaining the reasons for requesting transfer
  5. Official transcript of all prior law school work sent directly to LSAT for inclusion in a Credential Assembly Service report
  6. A letter of good academic standing from the appropriate law school official, which includes the applicant’s class standing
