3.2.01 Transfer Students
A. Students in good standing who attend law schools accredited or provisionally accredited by the American Bar Association may apply to transfer to Capital. The faculty requires students to complete one year of study prior to transferring unless there are compelling reasons for transfer prior to completion of a full year.
B. In order to be considered for admission, transfer candidates should submit the following material:
1. A completed application and the application fee.
2. A copy of the LSDAS report which is on file at the applicant's law school, showing the student's undergraduate grades and LSAT score.
3. A letter from the dean of the candidate's law school, stating the student is in good standing and unconditionally eligible to continue studies.
4. Law school transcripts showing all law school work undertaken by the candidate. See Policy on Transcripts.
5. Official copies of transcripts showing all college level and graduate work. One must be submitted for each institution a candidate attended after high school. See Policy on Transcripts.
C. Capital will accept credit for courses in which students have received at least a "C" or comparable grade. Courses taken at other law schools and accepted for credit at Capital are recorded as K credit and are not computed into the student’s cumulative grade point average. Transfer students must complete no fewer than 45 semester hours at Capital and must maintain a cumulative grade average of "C" (2.0) for work undertaken at Capital. Any transfer student who fails to maintain a cumulative grade average of “C” (2.0) for work undertaken at Capital is subject to the rules and procedures concerning academic probation, dismissal, and reinstatement (section 4.8) of this manual.
