During the first year at the University, a transfer student will have no class rank. At the completion of two full semesters at USC, a cumulative GPA and class rank will be computed on the basis of all law school grades earned. Based on the cumulative GPA, transfer students will be eligible for all University and School of Law awards. Transfer students are advised that they may encounter scheduling problems during their first semester at the School of Law. Housing Campus housing for law students is available on very limited basis.
Most students prefer to live off-campus.
Several desirable residential areas with rental houses and apartments are located within easy commuting distance of the campus. A completed and signed application form, including a statement of why a transfer is desired. An official transcript of all work completed at the law school previously attended and a statement of class rank or percentile in class. This information should be provided upon completion of the second semester of the first year of law school. A copy of the report may be provided by the law school the applicant is currently attending.
