Upper-year admissions
We accept applications from students at other law schools or with foreign law degrees who want to attend as upper-year students.
Indigenous summer intensive courses
Our Indigenous summer courses are open to law students, graduate students from Canada or abroad, practicing lawyers seeking continuing professional development (CPD) credit and professionals in the field of Indigenous law.
Transfer applicants
We accept a small number of transfer students each year. To earn a JD from UVic, you must complete at least 2 years of law school here.
Visiting applicants
We accept a limited number of visiting students from other law schools for 1 or 2 semesters to ensure that our class sizes are not significantly altered. Applications from law students currently attending another university who wish to visit the faculty for 1 or 2 terms will be considered.
A letter of permission from the student’s current law school is required prior to enrolment in UVic’s regular fall or spring terms as well as the summer session. If accepted, a visiting student’s course program must be approved by the deans of both law schools or their designates.
JD/Bachelor of Civil Law applicants
We accept a limited number of students with a Civil Law degree who want to earn a Juris Doctor (JD) at UVic's Faculty of Law.
