    Transfer Credit Policies<\/h2>\n

    A maximum of 29 units of credit can be transferred from state accredited law schools, and a maximum of 44 units of credit from ABA approved law schools. The number of units of credit approved for transfer within those maximum limits will depend on an evaluation of course equivalency and La\u00a0Verne Law\u2019s curricular requirements.<\/p>\n

    At the time of admission, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will determine which curricular requirements at La\u00a0Verne Law have been satisfied by credits earned at the applicant\u2019s prior law school by comparing course coverage and credit hours at La\u00a0Verne Law and the applicant\u2019s prior law school. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will also determine at the same time the total number of units for which transfer credit will be allowed, within the above stated maximums. No credit will be given for work in which the student received a grade lower than the minimum average required for graduation at the school at which credit was earned. While those units of credit approved for transfer will count toward hours required for graduation, the grades earned will not be factored into a student\u2019s grade point average.<\/p>\n

    Transfer Credit for Current La\u00a0Verne Law Students Who Wish to Take Courses at Another Law School<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Generally, the course must be one not offered at the College of Law and Public Service;<\/li>\n
    2. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or above;<\/li>\n
    3. The student must earn a grade at least equivalent to the average required for graduation from that institution, or a C (2.0), whichever is higher.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A student with a cumulative grade point average of 2.3 or above may petition the Office of the Dean for permission to complete up to 30 units of coursework at another ABA-approved law school and apply those units towards the Juris Doctor. Any courses at the other law school that the student wants to count towards fulfillment of College of Law and Public Service required courses for graduation must be approved in advance by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
