A nonrefundable application fee of $100 is required for all programs except for the JD-MBA and JD-PhD.
Although the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid attempts to keep the applicant informed of progress on the application and the receipt of documents, it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all parts of the application reach the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid by the deadline. The Admissions Committee does not review applications that are incomplete.
The various parts of the completed application may be sent to the Law School before the application form itself. Any supplementary materials submitted with the application must have the applicant's name clearly noted on each page. In several places in the application materials, the applicant's Social Security number is requested. This request is made to assist in accurate assembly of each file. It is not mandatory to supply that number.
Applicants may complete this application on a Windows or Macintosh Computer by using our online application or through the LSDAS. Use of this software is entirely optional and is for the convenience of the applicant. No preference or advantage will be given to applicants who use it.
