How to Transfer In

Students who wish to transfer to Chase may be eligible if:

  1. the student is attending an ABA approved law school,
  2. the student is in good standing and is eligible to continue the study of law at that law school, as demonstrated by a suitable letter from the dean of that school, and
  3. the student's performance at the prior law school was of acceptably high quality, as demonstrated by the official transcript.

Accepted transfer students normally have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale. Usually, no more than 30 semester hours will be accepted for transfer credit. No credit will be transferred for any course in which a grade of less than 2.00 on a 4.00 scale was awarded. All credit hours are recorded with a grade of “Credit”.
