LSDAS Report

The School of Law participates in the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) transcript evaluation program. Applicants must direct all of their undergraduate and graduate schools, including any law school attended, to submit official transcripts to the LSDAS. To preserve an applicant’s right to privacy, Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) will not release an LSDAS report to any school that has not officially requested it. Appli­cants must request the LSDAS to forward their records to the School of Law along with the LSAT score.

Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)
For information about the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), applicants may contact the LSAC at www.lsac.org, 215.968.1001, or LSAC, 662 Penn Street, Newtown, PA 18940. LSAT results must be on file at the School of Law before the School reviews an application. Applicants are advised to take the LSAT as early as possible in the year preceding application to law school.

Post-secondary work outside of the United States or Canada
UDM requires applicants who completed any post-secondary work outside of the United States, its territories, or Canada, with the exception of study abroad, consortium or exchange programs sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution and stated as such on the home institution transcript, to use the LSAC JD Credential Assembly Service (JD CAS) for the evaluation of these foreign transcripts. The LSDAS subscription fee includes this service. For the LSAC JD CAS, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) completes a foreign credential evaluation of an applicant’s transcripts and incorporates that evaluation into the LSDAS report.

To use the JD CAS, applicants go to their online LSAC account and follow the registration instructions. Applicants print a Transcript Request Form and send it to each institution at which they completed any postsecondary work outside of the United States, its territories, or Canada.

TOFEL scores
UDM requires TOEFL scores of applicants for whom English is a foreign language, including the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE). Applicants contact the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for TOEFL registration at www.toefl.org. Applicants must request that ETS send TOEFL scores to LSAC. TOEFL scores are included in the Foreign Credential Evaluation section of the LSDAS law school report.

LSAC’s JD CAS TOEFL code is 0058.
