Upper-year admissions
We accept applications from students at other law schools or with foreign law degrees who want to attend as upper-year students.
Transfer applicants
We accept a small number of transfer students each year. To earn a JD from UVic, you must complete at least 2 years of law school here.
Visiting applicants
We accept a limited number of visiting students from other law schools for 1 or 2 semesters to ensure that our class sizes are not significantly altered. Applications from law students currently attending another university who wish to visit the faculty for 1 or 2 terms will be considered.
A letter of permission from the student’s current law school is required prior to enrolment in UVic’s regular fall or spring terms as well as the summer session. If accepted, a visiting student’s course program must be approved by the deans of both law schools or their designates.
JD/Bachelor of Civil Law applicants
We accept a limited number of students with a Civil Law degree who want to earn a Juris Doctor (JD) at UVic's Faculty of Law.
