Application Process for International Students
International applicants are required to register for the LSAT
and the LSDAS. Foreign transcripts listed during LSDAS registration
and sent to LSAC are processed through the Credential Assembly
Service (CAS). Foreign transcripts will be sent to the American
Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers
(AACRAO) where the transcripts will be authenticated and evaluated.
The data is assembled into a credential evaluation document which
will be incorporated into your LSDAS report. We suggest you visit
the Law School Admission Council website www.lsac.org and carefully read the
information for international applicants to fully understand the
process. Every applicant whose native language is not English, or
whose undergraduate instruction was not in English, must take the
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam. If you have had
a minimum of one year of study at a U.S. college or university we
will waive the TOEFL requirement. Contact Educational Testing
Service (ETS) and request that your TOEFL score be sent to LSAC.
LSAC's TOEFL code for the Credential Assembly Service is 0058. Your
score will be included in the Foreign Credential Evaluation
document that will be included in your LSDAS law school report.
To use CAS, log in to your online account and follow the instructions for registering for the service. Be sure to print out a Transcript Request Form for each institution and send it promptly to them. More time is usually required to receive foreign transcripts.
