Students in good academic standing at ABA-accredited law schools may apply to transfer to Gonzaga to complete work toward the Juris Doctor degree.
To apply as a transfer student, please submit:
- Anapplication for transfer admission
- Personal statement which includes your reasons for transferring to Gonzaga
- LSAC CAS Report
- Letter of good standing, sent directly from your current law school (please send to admissions@lawschool.gonzaga.edu)
- Official transcript from your present school, with all terms of attendance recorded
- Two letters of academic recommendation, written by faculty at your current law school
Gonzaga Law will begin reviewing transfer application for a Fall semester intake after July 1. We will begin reviewing applicants for a Spring intake after December 1. If admitted, transfer students will connect with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Program Innovation for advising and enrollment.
For applicants who have been academically disqualified or dismissed from another ABA law school, you cannot apply as a first-year law student until two years from the date of disqualification has passed, unless you obtain a standard 505 letter from the previously disqualified school. Transfer students are not eligible for merit-based scholarships.
