NSU Law welcomes transfer applications. In order to apply for transfer, you must have completed, or be in the process of completing, at least 15 credits, by the start of the 2025 Winter semester. 

You must have received a baccalaureate degree prior to beginning law study and you must be in good academic standing in law school.

There is no GPA or class rank in law school that assures transfer admission; the admissions committee wishes to see that your law school record evidences academic excellence. Seats for transfer students are limited and the number varies from year-to-year.

Transfer Application Deadlines

• Winter 2025 - December 2, 2024
• Summer 2025 - April 4, 2025

Your application must be completed, with all required documentation, at least one month prior to the start of the semester for which you are seeking admission.
