If you feel that your application, as a whole, is missing relevant information that is important for the admissions committee to consider, you may upload an addendum. Use the addenda to explain any of the following:

• Gap(s) in education or work experience (more than 1 year)

• Substantial difference in LSAT scores (more than 5 points)

• Struggling during school outside of normal life expectations

Submit a complete resume listing relevant work, volunteer, and educational experiences providing the school of law with information valuable to the review process.

Failure to disclose fully the information requested in this question can lead to consequences far more serious than the act or event itself. Vague, superficial or untruthful answers, or failure to inform the Office of Law Admissions of any changes in your answers, may result in the revocation of admission, disciplinary action by the School of Law or denial of admission to the bar. If you answer yes to any of these questions, explain fully and in detail on a separate sheet. The personal statement may not be used to answer this question. You have a continuing duty to provide updates to character and fitness questions. This duty continues from application through graduation from the school of law. Your application for admission will be re-evaluated as you make additional disclosures. This includes disclosures made while a student.

In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

1. Have you ever been dropped, suspended, warned, placed on academic or disciplinary probation, disciplined, expelled, or requested or advised to resign from any postsecondary school, college, university, professional school, or law school? If yes, explain fully on a separate sheet or electronic attachment.

2. Have you ever been charged with a crime, other than a minor traffic violation, for which the charges have not been expunged? (In Maryland, expungement is not automatic. It requires the filing of a petition with the Court. A result of a Probation Before Judgment in a Maryland Court must be reported unless the charge was expunged.)

If yes, explain fully on a separate sheet or electronic attachment, specifying the nature of the offense(s), date the offense(s) occurred, name and locality of the court(s), and the sentence(s) imposed.

3. Have you ever been or are you now party to a civil suit in which you were the defendant? If yes, explain fully on a separate sheet or electronic attachment.

4. If yes, are there any judgments against you that are pending or have been satisfied? If yes, explain fully on a separate sheet or electronic attachment.

5. Have you ever been discharged from employment and/or the armed forces under conditions other than honorable or have you surrendered/lost a professional license? If yes, explain fully on a separate sheet or electronic attachment.

Instructions: University of Baltimore School of Law Binding Early Decision Deadline: January 1 (JD-Flex Only) Priority Application Deadline: March 1 Regular Application Deadline: July 15

The University of Baltimore School of Law admits applicants on a rolling basis. First-year applications are not accepted for the spring term. Upon receipt of an application, a confirmation email will be sent. You may check your application status online using your LSAC.org account credentials to log in.

All applicants must submit either an LSAT score or GRE scores and a complete CAS report. LSAT and GRE scores are valid for five years. The GRE can be used as a substitute for the LSAT, however, only the LSAT will be utilized for admission if you have taken both tests. Official GRE scores should be sent via ETS to school code 4700 - University of Baltimore School of Law. The JD-Next is not currently accepted as a standalone test option; however, candidates with a valid score who wish to submit it may have it considered as a supplemental application component.

Part-Time Evening Program - Flex JD The Flex JD program is now a hybrid, blended learning model. The Hybrid Program employs a mix of instructional modalities, including traditional in-person courses and blended courses that combine in-person instruction with online instruction. Once students complete their required courses, they will have the opportunity to select more or fewer blended courses, depending on their preferences.

Binding Early Decision Program The Binding Early Decision Program is available only to applicants seeking admission to the Part-Time Evening Program. Applicants who are certain that the University of Baltimore School of Law is their first-choice law school may apply through the Binding Early Decision Program.

The Binding Early Decision Program opens when the JD application opens and closes on January 1. Candidates that apply under the Binding Early Decision Program after the January deadline will automatically be moved to standard admissions review without binding early admission consideration. To be considered for the Binding Early Decision Program, applicants must submit a complete application no later than January 1. Applicants who submit a complete Binding Early Decision application will receive a decision within 30 business days of the date their application becomes complete.

Applicants admitted through the Binding Early Decision Program will receive a guaranteed scholarship of $5,000 per year, renewable each year provided the student maintains scholarship conditions.

Candidates admitted through the Binding Early Decision Program are required to enroll at the University of Baltimore School of Law, withdraw applications from all other law schools, provide proof of withdrawal within five (5) days of admission, submit the Binding Intent to Enroll form within five (5) days of admission, and not initiate new applications to any other law school. Candidates admitted through the Binding Early Decision Program are not eligible to defer enrollment.

Candidates who are not admitted through the Binding Early Decision Program will be moved into the general, nonbinding application process. Once moved into the general process, candidates are no longer bound by the Binding Early Decision requirements. Being moved into the general applicant pool does not mean that the applicant has been denied admission. It means the application will continue to receive consideration through the regular admission process.

Additional Requirements for International Students and Students who attended College/University outside of the United States Applicants who attended a post-secondary institution outside of the United States must arrange to have their transcripts sent to LSAC. Documents will be processed through the Credential Assembly Service.

Decisions All decisions are communicated via email from the Office of Law Admissions (lawadmissions@ubalt.edu) and via the LSAC online portal. Only the applicant may inquire about the status of his or her application.
