Overview

Based on a review of credentials, students may be admitted on regular, conditional or probationary admission status. Lexton University of California reserves the right to restrict or deny admission to any person otherwise eligible for reasons determined to be in the best interests of the institution by the officers thereof. In evaluating an applicant for admission, we take into consideration not only the applicant's formal education, but accumulated life and professional work experience and independent study.

Criteria for Admission

Admission to all degree programs of the University requires the submission of the following documents:

• A wet signature of the Application for Admission and a $50 non-refundable fee must accompany the form.
• The applicants are required to submit an official transcript sent from the high school, college, or universities attended, to the Lexton University of California Admissions Office, bearing signature of the school official.
• Transfer students must submit an official transcript from each college attended sent directly from the institution to the LUofC Admissions Office.
• An earned Bachelor's degree from an approved institution (for international students, a university approved by the government) with a minimum of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) overall GPA in the Bachelor's degree or in the last 60 semester credits in the Bachelors degree.

Applicants who do not meet the criteria stated above may be admitted only by action of the Admissions Committee. Students wishing to be considered for admission by the Admissions Committee must submit the following materials:

• A statement (approx. 300 words) expressing the student's goals and stating how attending LUofC will help the student achieve those goals;
• Two letters of reference from recent teachers or managers who believe that the student can successfully complete college work;
• After submitting these materials, the student must also complete a personal interview with the Dean of Admissions (via Internet);

The student's application for admission, transcripts, and test scores must be on file in the Admissions Office prior to consideration by the Admissions Committee. Official transcripts from previous schools are required for the University to make an admission decision and to accept transfer units. Students transferring from other colleges or universities are considered for admission on the basis of academic achievement, life experience, professional objectives and community involvement. Transferring to Lexton University of California is a convenient process, and many students receive the maximum number of transfer units possible. The university will accept in transfer the following maximum credits:

For all graduate programs (Master's or Doctorate) a maximum of 12 semester units may be accepted in transfer from other approved institutions. Granting of University level credit for life and work experience, maximum of 8 semester units, simply means that the sum of student life experience is evaluated, and credits are granted for each course based on those things that you have already learned or experienced. Evaluation of an applicant's ability to pursue graduate or postgraduate study is based on prior academic work (particularly in the chosen field or major) educational seminars, workshops, job-related training, professional and occupational experience. That does not, of course, mean that everyone who applies will be admitted. But it is safe to say that every qualified applicant will be admitted.

The Doctor of Jurisprudence program is designed to provide learners with courses and a program of study required for a thorough understanding of the profession of law. The School of Law offers a Doctor of Laws (LL.D.) for foreign lawyers who have first degrees in law from a non-American university.
