No.  While we appreciate having updated transcripts for candidates still taking university courses, it is not required.  We only require one transcript from each institution that you have attended for your application to be considered complete.

Candidates who do provide updated transcripts will have their GPA recomputed, which may put their file into a stronger position going into the final assessment period.

The admissions requirements for international applicants are much the same as for Canadian applicants. All applicants are required to complete the LSAT. Because the LSAT has a built-in English comprehension component, we do not require international applicants to take any other English test. Please note that the biggest difference for international applicants is that we require transcripts from degree granting institutions outside of North America to be sent via WES.org. WES.org will translate the marks into a grading system that we can use for GPA calculation, and therefore, academic assessment. 

The first step is to contact the The NCA will review your current legal qualifications and will determine if further legal education and/or assessment is required. In some cases, it is possible to meet the academic requirements by completing a year of law school and/or taking qualifying exams.

Once you meet the education requirements for admission to a Bar in Canada, you may need to satisfy other requirements of the law society of the province or territory where you wish to practice law. This may include doing a period of articles, writing bar examinations and/or completing a bar admissions course.  Please review the for information on their specific bar admission requirements.

The Schulich School of Law's admissions committee takes a holistic approach when assessing applications, including taking into consideration any extraordinary circumstances such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Because of this approach, it is rare that academic standing in one term alone would have a significant impact on an applicant's assessment.

When making our assessment we look at the highest of your over all GPA and the GPA for your last 2 years worth of course credits (note: not all law schools do this). When calculating your GPA we only include numerical or letter grades for courses. Because of the disruption to the 2020 winter semester we recognize that many universities have implemented a process to protect the academic records of their students by mandating, or giving them the option to record their passing grades as a 鈥淧ass鈥� or something similar (i.e. credit, satisfactory etc). Regardless of whether the process is mandatory or optional we will not draw a negative inference if you have one or more courses with a 鈥淧ass鈥� or something similar noted on your transcript for the Winter 2020 semester term.
