Transfer and Visting Students

Pace Law accepts transfer and visiting students from other ABA-approved law schools. Students must submit a formal application for consideration.

Transfer Students

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. Transfer applicants are required to submit:

  1. Online Law School Application
  2. $70.00 application fee
  3. Resume
  4. LSAT test score and a current Credential Assembly Service report
  5. A typed personal statement explaining the reasons for requesting transfer
  6. Official transcript of all prior law school work sent directly to LSAT for inclusion in a Credential Assembly Service report
  7. A letter of good academic standing from the appropriate law school official, which includes the applicant’s class standing

The Office of Admissions uses the Law School Assembly Service (LSAC) for application and document processing. If you are disabled or have difficulty accessing the LSAC website or our website, please call the us for assistance at (914) 422-4210, or email admissions@law.pace.edu.

Visiting Students

Any law student who is currently attending an American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law school and is in good academic standing can apply as a non-matriculating or visiting student. Visiting students must have permission from the dean of their law school to take courses at Pace Law. Applicants must submit the following materials:

  1. Law School Application
  2. $70.00 application fee
  3. An official transcript of all prior law school coursework sent directly to the Office of Admissions
  4. A letter of good standing from the home school clearly stating that credit for classes undertaken at Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University will be applied to your degree at your home school.

The Office of Admissions requires the use of the Law School Credential Assembly Service (LSAC) for application and document processing. Students who are unable to utilize the LSAC service may submit their downloaded application and documents electronically or via mail. Regardless of submission method, all applicants are considered equally based upon their application materials.
