The LSJ Department has two separate admissions processes for (1) current matriculated undergraduate students and (2) prospective incoming transfer students.
Current Undergraduate Students
The LSJ major is capacity-constrained; meeting the pre-requisites does not guarantee admission into the major.
The LSJ Department has three admissions cycles per academic year: Autumn, Winter, and Spring
- The application deadline is always due the second Friday of the quarter at 4:00 PM.
- Admissions decisions will always be sent the fifth Friday of the quarter at 4:00 PM.

Transfer Students
The LSJ major is capacity-constrained; meeting the pre-requisites does not guarantee admission into the major.
If you are at another college or university and wish to transfer to the University of Washington's Law, Societies, and Justice undergraduate major, you can do so via the direct-to-major transfer admissions process for autumn quarter admissions. With this opportunity, students are eligible to apply to the UW and LSJ major at the same time.
Applicants will complete two separate applications; (1) application to the University of Washington, and (2) application to the Law, Societies, and Justice Department. Failure to submit both applications will disqualify you from the direct-to-major application cycle for that academic year.
The LSJ direct-to-major admissions process runs once per academic year.
- The application deadline is always April 5th at 4:00 PM.
- Admissions decisions will always be sent the fifth Friday of the quarter at 4:00 PM.
