Apply for Admission
To serve the needs of our diverse student body, we offer both part-time and full-time day and evening programs at both the West Los Angeles and in the San Fernando Valley campuses.
We accept applications on a rolling basis because we have three terms in which an applicant can begin: fall, spring and summer. Once an application for admission is received by our Los Angeles law school, an applicant will receive confirmation by mail within 3-5 business days.
All applicants are required to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) in order to be considered for admission. The LSAT is administered four times annually; for information about the registration deadlines, visit the Law School Admissions Counsil (LSAC) website at www.LSAC.org or call 215-968-1001.
An applicant is also required to submit official undergraduate transcripts, official prior law school transcripts (if applicable), two letters of recommendation, and a personal statement.
Once all the documents have been submitted, an Admissions Committee carefully reviews the applicant’s file and makes a determination whether the applicant should be admitted or not. The applicant is then notified of the decision in writing.
The State Bar of California requires that the course of study for the JD degree be completed no earlier than thirty-two months and no later than eighty-four months (7 years) after a student has commenced study at UWLA or a law school from which UWLA has accepted transfer credit.

Deferred Admission
Applicants who apply to our Los Angeles law school for a specific term and find that they must postpone their enrollment may defer their enrollment to the succeeding term. Applicants may postpone their enrollment only once as a matter of right during the application process. To defer admission, applicants should contact the Admissions Office indicating the desire to do so.
However, if the applicant is unable to enroll in the term selected, or must postpone enrollment beyond one term, a new application will be required.
