Admissions
Admissions Decisions
The Admissions Committee makes final fall decisions for priority applicants in late March/early April. Decisions for secondary pool applicants are made between April 1 and June 15. Applicants are immediately notified in writing upon final decision.
The college begins notifying applicants from the time the first decision is made until the class is filled using a “rolling admissions” process based on the credentials of the applicant, not on the order in which applications are received. Decisions are not made on a “first-come first-served” basis.
$200 Seat Deposit Fee
The Florida Board of Education and University of Florida Board require payment
of a $200 deposit to secure a seat in our entering class. The $200 deposit is due on or before May 15. Non-payment of the fee will result in cancellation of an offer of admission. This is an “in-hand” deadline.
Petitioning for Reconsideration
Applicants can request reconsideration only
in cases where the applicant has learned (after applying to the law
school) significant information that existed prior to the file completion
deadline. Information about events, such as grades or awards, occurring
after the file completion deadline cannot be considered. Reconsideration
must be requested within 30 days of denial.
A written request must include an explanation of the new information as well as valid reasons warranting reconsideration, and should be submitted to:
