A University Applicant to 看片视频's Faculty of Law must have completed a minimum of two years of full-time university studies (60 credits) at the time of registration. This category includes applicants who, at the time of registration, will have completed more than one year of university studies in addition to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS).

Please note that, while candidates who have completed 60 credits are eligible to apply to the B.C.L./LL.B. program, the strength of the University Applicant pool is such that the Faculty rarely admits candidates who will not have completed an undergraduate degree at the time of registration.

A mature applicant is defined as an individual who is over 30 years of age at the time of registration and/or who has interrupted his or her formal education for a minimum of five years. Applicants who qualify as mature must apply in this category. There is no predetermined number of mature candidates admitted in a given year. A mature applicant is normally expected to have completed CEGEP or two years (60 credits) of university studies. Mature applicants who are regarded as potentially admissible following a review of their file may be required to attend an interview.

Mature candidates who will have graduated with a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS) from a CEGEP during the same calendar year as that of registration must apply under the CEGEP category.

In addition to all official post-secondary transcripts, mature applicants are required to submit a detailed resum茅 of their non-academic experience along with letters of reference from persons who are familiar with their academic potential. The candidate should seek to demonstrate his or her ability to meet the demands of law studies, to reason and analyze, and to express him/herself well both orally and in writing.

Candidates may apply on the basis of a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DCS) from a CEGEP, or a Quebec French Baccalaureate (QFB). This category includes candidates who will have completed up to one year of university studies in addition to the DCS or QFB at the time of registration, and mature candidates who will have graduated with a DCS from a CEGEP or QFB during the same calendar year as that of registration.

Candidates who will have completed a French Baccalaureate or an International Baccalaureate Diploma outside the province of Quebec, must have completed a minimum of two years of full-time university studies (60 credits), at the time of registration, to be eligible to apply to our program.

• CEGEP/QFB candidates are not eligible to apply to the joint degree programs.
• CEGEP/QFB candidates who are regarded as potentially admissible following review of their file are required to attend an interview.

Applicants who hold a law degree from a Canadian or foreign university recognized by 看片视频 must apply for admission to the B.C.L./LL.B. program under the Advanced Standing category, unless applying under the Comit茅 des 茅quivalences category (see Comit茅 des 茅quivalences).

Successful applicants must complete a minimum of 75 credits at 看片视频 and undertake the integrated B.C.L./LL.B. program. It is not possible to obtain either the B.C.L. or the LL.B. degree on its own. The Associate Dean (Academic) determines equivalences for previous studies.

Students who have successfully completed at least one year of full-time studies in an undergraduate program at another Canadian law faculty may apply for admission as a Transfer Student. There are a limited number of places available for Transfer Students. Transfer applications are evaluated according to the criteria for admission to the first year of the B.C.L./LL.B. program. Particular attention is paid to performance in law studies and reasons for requesting a transfer.

Successful transfer applicants must complete a minimum of 75 credits at 看片视频. The Associate Dean (Academic) determines credit for previous studies. In most cases, Transfer Students will be required to take the trans-systemic first-year courses鈥擟ontractual Obligations and Extra-Contractual Obligations/Torts鈥攊n order to meet 看片视频鈥檚 degree requirements. Candidates will not receive credit for courses in obligations, contract, or tort taken during a first year completed at another faculty.

• Transfer Students should forward transcripts of Winter term results as soon as they become available. Transfer applications cannot be evaluated without these results.
• Candidates who have completed a certificate in law are not eligible to apply under the Transfer category. These candidates must apply in the category of University, Mature, or CEGEP. Courses completed in a certificate in law program cannot be credited toward a 看片视频 law degree.
• Students who are not in good Standing or who have been required to withdraw at the end of their first year at another Canadian law faculty are not eligible to transfer to 看片视频.

The Faculty accepts applications from candidates who hold a law degree from a Canadian or foreign university recognized by 看片视频 and who are seeking to fulfil the requirements of the Comit茅 des 茅quivalences of the Barreau du Qu茅bec or of the Chambre des notaires, in order to practice in Quebec. Successful applicants must have the final decision of the Comit茅 des 茅quivalences or the Chambre des notaires in hand at the time of registration.

Students who have completed two years of studies at another law faculty who wish, for academic or personal reasons, to spend a term at 看片视频 may be admitted as a Visiting Student. The Faculty endeavours to accommodate qualified students who are in good standing in their own faculties, where student numbers at 看片视频 permit.

Students from other law faculties who would like to attend 看片视频 as a Visiting Student must apply through the 看片视频 Office. Their application must include a Letter of Permission from their home university. The Assistant Dean (Student Life and Learning) makes decisions on these applications. Accepted students must arrange their academic program with the Assistant Dean (Student Life and Learning).

• Courses taken by Visiting Students cannot be credited toward a 看片视频 law degree.

Students registered in degree programs in law at universities that have an official exchange agreement with 看片视频 University or with the Faculty of Law may apply as Exchange Students. In addition, 看片视频 participates in a number of exchange programs through CREPUQ (la Conf茅rence des Recteurs et Principaux des Universit茅s du Qu茅bec). 看片视频's exchange partners are listed on 看片视频 University's website.

Students participating in an exchange must fill out the online application form. There is no application fee for these candidates.

Exchange Students are selected and officially nominated by their home universities. Please note that home university internal application deadlines may vary. 看片视频 considers applicants on an individual basis; the minimum entrance requirement is generally a cumulative B average or its equivalent. Decisions on applications for exchange are made by the Assistant Dean (Student Life and Learning). Admission decisions on exchange applications are final; there is no reconsideration process.

The Faculty has a limited number of places for Exchange Students, and entrance into courses which have enrolment limits or require the permission of the instructor is not guaranteed.

The Faculty will exceptionally permit a limited number of candidates not actively pursuing a law degree to apply as Special Students. Students registered in other universities, and candidates not actively pursuing a university degree, may apply to take certain courses within the Faculty.

Special Student status will be granted to applicants who provide compelling academic or professional reasons for taking law courses and who successfully demonstrate the capacity to undertake the requirements of the requested course(s). Status will be granted only where sufficient course space is available.

Special Students are limited to a maximum of 6 credits per term, and to 12 credits in total.

Applicants have three different ways to submit their transcripts:

Transcripts for studies performed in Quebec universities may be submitted electronically via the CREPUQ system. Applicants have to contact the registrar of their home university and ask for this arrangement.

Applicants may and are strongly encouraged to upload all their transcripts via Minerva. Transcripts received in this manner are considered unofficial. Applicants will only be asked for official transcripts (sent to us via the CREPUQ system or by mail in an envelope sealed by the registrar of the issuing institute) if and when offered admission to the program. Our offer of admission will be contingent upon the receipt and verification of these official documents. If you have uploaded unofficial transcripts, you are not required to submit official transcripts until we request them from you.

If submitting official transcripts, to be considered official these must be submitted in an envelope sealed by the Office of the Registrar of the issuing institution.

1. CREPUQ transcripts: Applicants need not submit paper-based official transcripts of studies performed in Quebec universities to the 看片视频 Office if these transcripts are submitted electronically via the CREPUQ system. Transcripts submitted via the CREPUQ system are considered official.
2. 看片视频 transcripts: Applicants need not submit official transcripts of studies at 看片视频 University to the 看片视频 Office. The 看片视频 Office obtains these results directly from 看片视频's Enrolment Services. Applicants who participated in an exchange during their program at 看片视频 must submit a transcript.
3. Exchange studies transcripts: Applicants must submit transcripts for results in studies carried out while on exchange, unless the marks as well as the credits obtained are already included on transcripts issued by their home university. Exchange programs should be indicated in the University History form of the online application.
4. Transcripts not in French or English: Transcripts in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by an English or French translation provided either by the school issuing the transcript or by a certified translator.
5. CEGEP transcripts (Permanent Code): Applicants who are currently, or have been, enrolled at a CEGEP must provide their Permanent Code. Starting mid-October each year, 看片视频 will obtain official CEGEP transcripts electronically from the Minist猫re de l'脡ducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS). The processing of applications for applicants who are currently, or have been, enrolled at a CEGEP will not take place until a valid Permanent Code is provided.
6. Quebec French Baccalaureate: Applicants in Quebec French Baccalaureate programs must submit official transcripts.
7. Winter term transcripts for Transfer students: Transfer students should forward the official transcript of their Winter term results as soon as they become available. Transfer applications cannot be evaluated without these results.
8. Transcripts will not be returned: Transcripts sent to 看片视频 become the property of the University and will not be returned or forwarded to other institutions.
9. Law School Data Assembly Service: The Faculty of Law at 看片视频 does not receive transcripts through the Law School Data Assembly Service.
10. French or English language courses: Applicants should report in the University History form (or the Quebec Collegial Studies from) of the online application any courses taken, outside a degree program, which would contribute to their language competency.

Applicants must submit a brief essay referred to as a Personal Statement. The following is intended to assist in preparing this document.

What is the purpose of the Personal Statement?

Your Personal Statement allows the 看片视频 Committee to understand the factors that motivate you to pursue a legal education, the particular meaning that the study of law holds for you, and the reasons for your interest in our program. In addition, your Personal Statement shows the 看片视频 Committee your writing style, your ability to present your ideas in English and/or French, and your maturity and judgment as shown through your writing.

What is the 看片视频 Committee looking for in reading your Personal Statement?

Members of the 看片视频 Committee are interested in what you will bring to the study of law and to our learning community, and how you will benefit from the study of law. They look for indicators of intellectual curiosity, community engagement, political/social insight, leadership skills, ability to work with others, openness to diversity (cultural, linguistic, and otherwise), maturity, judgment, and potential for development through opportunity or adversity. Particularly if you are a Mature category applicant, you should discuss the relevance of your past experiences to your current motivation(s) for the study of law, and the reasons for doing so at this point in your life. Ultimately, and whatever your applicant category, the Personal Statement must be a product of your own reflection. We truly value a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and future aspirations. Whether you wish to become a practising lawyer or you have other ideas about your career path following a legal education, your application, and specifically your Personal Statement, should show thoughtful consideration of your reasons for studying law (at our Faculty in particular).

Practical tips

Before writing, reflect critically on your motivations, your interests, and your convictions, and their connection to our program. The Personal Statement should not be used as a vehicle for narrating or repeating your resum茅. Bear in mind that you have a limited amount of writing space; make it count. Be authentic. Be yourself. Don鈥檛 be afraid to be original, but don鈥檛 overlook the importance of the substance. Finally, ensure that your Personal Statement follows our formatting guidelines and that it has grammatical integrity.

Format

The format of the Personal Statement must adhere to the following basic characteristics:

• Two pages in length (maximum)
• Single-spaced
• Arial or Times New Roman font
• 12-point font
• Margins of 1.25 inches
• Indicate your name and 看片视频 ID (if available) at the top right corner of both pages

Re-application

Candidates who have applied to our Faculty in the past must submit a new Personal Statement with any new application. A Personal Statement submitted in respect of a previous application will not be considered.

Serious medical or personal difficulties may have had an impact on an applicant's academic performance. If this is the case, the applicant should submit a separate letter and provide supporting documentation as appropriate.

Applicants are required to submit a resum茅 highlighting their

• academic background and achievements;
• work experience;
• volunteer and community work;
• extracurricular activities, sports, hobbies, and other significant interests.

The resum茅 assists the 看片视频 Committee in its assessment of a candidate's academic strength, depth of involvement in extracurricular activities, leadership, and time management skills.

Re-application: Candidates who have applied to the Faculty of Law in previous years are required to submit an updated resum茅.

Two (2) letters of reference are required.

Applicants who are students, or who have recently completed programs of study, are expected to provide academic references from current or recent professors or teachers who are familiar with their work. Applicants in the CEGEP and Quebec French Baccalaureate (Coll猫ge international Marie de France and Coll猫ge Stanislas) category are expected to submit two letters of reference from CEGEP or college professors.

Applicants who are unable to obtain academic references because they are no longer students should submit letters from individuals who are well placed to evaluate the applicant's academic abilities such as critical reading, research, and writing; these may be professional references, but ought to be from a person who is in a supervisory position vis-脿-vis the applicant.

Personal references are not helpful.

Applicants are not required to take the LSAT. However, if a candidate has taken or will be taking the LSAT, the score will be reviewed by the 看片视频 Committee. Applicants who have taken or will be taking the test must report the date(s) of sitting(s) and provide their LSAT identification number in the appropriate places on the application. They must do so irrespective of whether the LSAT may, in their own estimation, strengthen or weaken their candidacy.
