Admission Decisions and Tuition Deposit

Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis. The Admissions Committee begins its evaluation of files in late November of the year before admission, with the majority of decisions being made from January to March. You will be notified regarding the status of your application via email as soon as possible after your file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

If you are offered admission, you will be required to reserve your place in the entering class with one nonrefundable deposit of $400, which will be applied to your tuition for the Fall 2025 semester. For the majority of students admitted the incoming class of Fall 2025, this deposit will be due on April 15, 2025.  Your deposit can be paid by credit card online at the Admitted Candidate site. You may also pay your deposit by check or money order (made payable to UK Rosenberg College of Law). You must pay your deposit by the applicable deadline to officially reserve your place in the entering class.

 

Amending/Updating Your Application

If you are sending an updated transcript or an additional letter of recommendation, you should send them through LSAC’s CAS. You should be sure to update your application (before or after a decision is rendered) to ensure it reflects any changes to the Character and Fitness questions and to be sure it remains truthful and complete. As always, if your contact information changes please let us know by sending an email to: uklawadmissions@uky.edu.
