Re-Applying for the Bar Exam
Those wanting to apply for the next bar exam immediately subsequent to the bar exam in which they did not receive a passing score are considered to be Re-Applicants and will submit a Re-Application. Withdrawn applications are NOT considered to be Re-Applications.
Re-Applications have a reduced application application fee. Again, to be eligible for the reduced fee, you must have been unsuccessful on the most recent bar exam administered in Colorado. You will not receive a reduced fee if you do not apply for the subsequent bar exam – i.e., skipping an exam administration. Please review your Results Notice for the filing deadline for the next bar exam – the date listed on your Results Notice is unique for exam reapplicants submitting for the next scheduled exam. See Fees and Deadlines.
After you have submitted your Re-Application for the exam you will need to:
- Obtain and upload a new Driving Record, and
- Submit to a new criminal history background check by having your fingerprints processed again by a State of Colorado-approved vendor.
Legacy Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) Score Transfer
Colorado Legacy UBE scores may be transferred to another UBE jurisdiction by submitting a UBE score transfer request to the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). UBE score transfers may be requested on-line using the NCBE score services. Visit the NCBE Score Services page for instructions and other details.
When applying via UBE Score Transfer to another jurisdiction, many jurisdictions require a certified copy of your bar exam admissions application. Please visit our Document Request page here to submit a request.
