Transfer students admitted to the UCI Faculty of Law after completing the first year of the Faculty of Law at another ABA-accredited law faculty must meet the UCI Law requirements for graduation or its substantial equivalents. The Associate Dean of Student Services decides whether teaching at another law school is sufficient to meet the law school`s graduation requirements and, if not, what courses a transferred student must take to graduate. A student entering law school as a transfer student must meet the graduation requirements that apply to the expected class of graduates they are joining.

Some people are ready to start law school as soon as they graduate from university. Others may want or need to take a gap year (or more). Other candidates may be willing to start law school after several years (sometimes decades) in the workplace. The committee has no preference between candidates who apply after a sabbatical or those who apply right after university. The most important factor is that you apply when you are ready to start law school. Qualified candidates have earned their law degree in their home country prior to enrolling in the program and must demonstrate sufficient proficiency in English to complete the rigorous study of U.S. law.
Each candidate must comply with a minimum course load of 12 credits per semester. In exceptional circumstances, a student may request a reduced course load as accommodation for the disabled. In collaboration with the UC Irvine Disability Services Center and with written permission from the Assistant Dean of Student Services, an accommodated student may enroll in at least 10 or 11 units per semester. Each candidate must acquire a total of 86 semester units.
