The Office of Admissions hosts several Recruitment Events, Online Information Sessions and Webinars throughout the year. This is your opportunity to learn more about the University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) and the admissions process. Join us and participate in an online information session which is an interactive presentation where you may ask questions in real time. (Approximately 90 minutes). Virtual Office Hours are for those students interested in attending the University of Houston Law Center for the Fall 2023 semester and beyond. This session is not for admitted students, waitlist students or students that have been denied. There are other sessions and opportunities if you fit into one of these other categories. Please make sure you are truly a prospective student so that you have the best experience. If you have a quick question, please chat with an admissions representative during virtual office hours. To register for any of these events, please view the Admissions Event Calendar to select a date and time that best fits your schedule and to register. Please register for the session at least 24 hours in advance. Once you have submitted your registration, you will receive a confirmation email and additional details.
You will find that many of your questions are answered by reviewing the Admissions Process Information and Frequently Asked Questions sections of our website. If you would like to set up an appointment, please utilize the online appointment system. Admissions counselors are available via email, telephonically, through video conferencing and in-person. Please be advised, UHLC does not offer interviews or evaluative meetings with members of the Admissions Committee. Applicants who have concerns that they wish to bring to the attention of the Admissions Committee should address those concerns in a written addendum to their application. The addendum can be sent via email to lawadmissions@uh.edu.
If you applied to the JD program and were not admitted, you may participate in a reapplicant informational webinar via Zoom that will take place in August 2023 (exact date TBD). An applicant may only register and participate in one of these sessions. Admission is highly competitive, and we take a holistic approach to application review. There is a myriad of factors that are considered. There is no one reason why someone is accepted, as such, there is no one reason why someone is denied admission. At no time, will applicants receive specific information about why they were denied admission. These sessions are intended to generally assist applicants in strengthening their future application should they chose to reapply. There may be an opportunity to briefly speak privately via a breakout room if issues of reapplication are not addressed during the informational session. Reapplicant counseling for the fall 2022 admissions cycle has ended.
LexPreLaw **is a diversity pathway program that targets prospective law students from underrepresented racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds who possess potential for law school success but may be unlikely to gain admission due to lower LSAT scores or insufficient knowledge of the application process. There are no program costs for law participants.
**The University of Houston Law Center does not specifically endorse any particular program nor guarantee the program’s success. While participation in this program may prove helpful, participation has no bearing on the Law Center’s application process.
