President’s Day
President’s Day is Monday, February 17. The federal holiday is called Washington’s Birthday, while several US states celebrate it as “Presidents’ Day.”
The Charleston School of Law requires all applicants to have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited school prior to enrolling. A final transcript should be sent to LSAC from each degree-granting school denoting the degree was conferred.
Transcripts must be on file by October 15 for fall enrollees. If a transcript is not received by this deadline, a student may complete the current semester but will not be permitted to enroll in a subsequent semester until all transcripts are on file.
Applicants may take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) sponsored by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) for the purpose of assessing the applicant’s capability of satisfactorily completing the educational program. LSAT scores are valid for five years, and in the case of multiple scores, the Charleston School of Law will use the high score. Applicants are also required to register with the Law School Admission Council’s (LSAC) Credential Assembly Service (CAS). A current CAS Report is required to complete a file.
If an applicant does not take the LSAT, they must submit either a JD Next score or GRE score (see below).
In lieu of the LSAT, applicants may participate in JD Next. More information about the course can be found at aspenpublishing.com/pages/jdnext.
There are no conditions an applicant must meet in order to submit a JD Next score instead the LSAT. Alternatively, applicants may submit both a JD Next score and LSAT score. At this time, there is not enough historical data to provide an average score or score range for applicants who are accepted with a JD Next score.
In an effort to increase the accessibility of law school, the Charleston School of Law will accept the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) under the following conditions:
We encourage all applicants to take the LSAT; while some merit scholarships will be available for GRE applicants, the majority will be for those with an LSAT score.
