What would make you ineligible for LSAT? Forum

[top14dreamer]

I have been in undergrad for longer then traditional. Never had a criminal record, misdemeanor, etc. Never any reprisals like academic dismissal or semester warning. However, under the LSAT registration on the website, it doesn't give any circumstances to who would be ineligible to register for it?

So, I became curious, are there any aspects that would make one ineligible to take it? (i.e. being in undergrad for a long time)?

From LSAC:
"You may not take the LSAT more than three times in any two-year period. This policy applies even if you cancel your score or if your score is not otherwise reported. LSAC reserves the right to cancel your registration, rescind your admission ticket, or take any other steps necessary to enforce this policy.
For significant extenuating circumstances, LSAC may grant exceptions to this policy. To request an exception, submit a signed, detailed explanation—along with verification, if possible—addressing the circumstances that you feel make you eligible to retake the LSAT and specifying the date that you wish to test. Scan and email your request as an attachment to LSACinfo@LSAC.org or send it by fax to 215.968.1277.
You will be notified by email of approval or denial of your request. Be sure to submit your request well in advance of the regular registration deadline so that you can receive timely notification of our decision. Barring unforeseen circumstances, LSAC will respond within seven working days of receiving your request. LSAC's decisions are final.
If you served as a test center staff member for the LSAT, you may not take the LSAT in the subsequent 12-month period. Failure to abide by this requirement may result in the initiation of a misconduct proceeding."

And that's it. There are certainly things that might make someone ineligible for admission (and staying in UG a long time isn't one of them), but they can still take the test.

Nearly nothing. They want as many $170 as possible.
