Transfer Applicants

Students who have attended a law school that is accredited by the American Bar Association or is a member of the Association of American Law Schools may be admitted upon proof of such prior study in law and upon such adjustment of credits and subject matter as may, in the opinion of the dean, be required.  Typically, the committee will only consider applicants in the top 25% of their class. 

Applicants must have completed two full semesters as a full-time or part-time student at their current law school. Applicants will not be considered if they have not completed these credit hours. Any credits they have earned above the 30 credit hours will not be transferred. The remaining credit hours must be completed at Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

The number of transfer candidates offered admission each year depends on the number of spaces available in the class, and on the strength of each candidate's records.

As a transfer student to Loyola University Chicago School of Law, the sole source of funding for your education is loans (transfer students cannot apply for application fee waivers). Make sure that you send a FAFSA report to Loyola University Chicago (School Code 001710). It is also your responsibility to apply for the Stafford Loan and any private loans you may wish to take. You will need to attend a loan entrance interview during the first full week of school. Please contact the admission and financial assistance office for more information.

Transfer applicants must submit a completed application form along with a $50 non-refundable application fee.  The deadline for submitting the application is July 1. All other documents must be received by July 15.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Transfer students are responsible for sending their immunization records to the Wellness Center.
