Admission With Advanced StandingExcept for transfer applicants enrolled at the University of Missouri-Columbia (to whom transfer is granted more liberally), an applicant for admission with advanced standing must meet the requirements applicable to entering students; be eligible to return as a student in good standing to their current law school; and present a letter from the Dean of their law school showing such eligibility. In order to be considered for admission, a transfer applicant who would not have been admissible (based on LSAT score, undergraduate GPA, etc.) had such applicant applied for initial admission at UMKC, must have at least a B average after at least one full year of law study in an approved law school. Otherwise, a transfer applicant must have at least a C+ average in all law work in order to receive consideration. Admission decisions on transfer applications typically are not made before mid-July, once the number of available seats in the second-year class have been determined.A maximum of 30 semester hours credit may be allowed for work successfully completed at another law school, with the right being reserved to refuse to transfer credit, in whole or in part, for any such coursework. Except in the case of students transferring from the University of Missouri-Columbia, hours for a course in which less than a C was earned will not transfer, but retaking the course may be waived on an individual basis. Grades earned at another law school are not transferred, nor do such grades count for class ranking purposes. Transfer students must earn at least a C+ average in courses taken at the UMKC School of Law in order to graduate.
