Application Checklist

Create LSAC.org Account

Add UToledo to Your List
LSAC.org is the one-stop portal for your law school application. Create your LSAC.org account to get started. Add "University of Toledo" to the school list on your homepage.

Prep for the LSAT or GRE
Preparation is vital for success on the LSAT or GRE. Attend a no-cost, LSAT Tips & Tricks session, with testing tips from a Toledo Law professor. Khan Academy also offers no-cost, online prep courses for both tests.

Take the LSAT or GRE
Toledo Law accepts either your LSAT or GRE score. Visit LSAC.org (LSAT) or ETS.org (GRE) to register. If both scores are reported, the Admissions Committee will only consider your highest LSAT score.

 

Begin Application

Toledo Law charges no application fee, and you do not need to wait for your LSAT or GRE score to apply. After you create your LSAC.org account, click on the school name, then Start/Continue Application.
