There are eight pathways to admission to our 200-level compulsory core courses. Entry criteria for each are as follows:

听

1. Continuing UC law students

To be sure of continued admission to the 200-level compulsory core courses, students must pass at least half (or a majority) of the 200-level law courses in which they were enrolled in the previous year.

听

2. 100-level Law students at UC

Admission to the 200-level compulsory core courses depends on performance in听,听听and non-LAWS courses. About 260 - 280 students proceed from 100-level Law courses to the 200-level compulsory core courses each year. Students normally need to be ranked in the first 200 in the LAWS 101 and LAWS 110 examination results, and to have performed satisfactorily in their non-LAWS courses, in order to gain a place in the 200-level compulsory core courses.听Gaining a 'B' grade in LAWS 101 and LAWS 110 and satisfactory grades in non-LAWS courses will normally be sufficient to gain entry, but this varies from year to year.

听

3. Students transferring from other universities

Admission to the 200-level compulsory core courses depends on students鈥� academic records. Each applicant is assessed individually.

听

4. Graduate students

Graduate students may apply to be concurrently enrolled in LAWS 101, LAWS 110 and some 200-level courses, but such admission is not automatic and requires special application to the Faculty of Law. Admission to the 200-level compulsory core courses depends on students鈥� previous academic records. Each applicant is assessed individually.

听

5. Students previously limited out of 200-level compulsory core courses

Students who passed LAWS 101 and LAWS 110 but did not gain entry to LAWS 200 and have then undertaken a full-time year of non-law study which contains a significant component of advancing courses at 200 or 300 level, and who gained good results for the whole of that year, may be admitted to LAWS 200.
