We will be purging all unsubmitted applications the first week of June 2026 and ask that applicants start submitting their applications in the new ILG Admissions Manager database.

General Information – Admission via UBE Score Transfer. Admission to practice law based upon a Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) score achieved in another state or territory of the United States or in the District of Columbia within three years preceding application for admission to the Bar of Colorado. UBE scores achieved more than three years but less than five years preceding application to Colorado may be combined with two years of law practice experience immediately preceding application to Colorado in order to qualify under this rule. A UBE score must be at least that required to pass the Colorado Bar Examination based upon standards of performance set by the Colorado Supreme Court. See UBE Score Transfer eligibility requirements for more information.

Notice Regarding the NextGen UBE: On March 14, 2024, the Colorado Supreme Court announced that the NextGen Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) would replace the Legacy UBE beginning with the July 2028 administration of the bar exam. Some jurisdictions will begin administering the NextGen UBE in July 2026 and thereafter, prior to Colorado administering the NextGen UBE. The Colorado Supreme Court will accept transferred NextGen UBE scores beginning with the July 2026 administration and will continue to accept Legacy UBE scores that have not expired and that were earned on administrations of the Legacy UBE through February 2028. The minimum passing standard for the NextGen UBE for scores transferred to Colorado will be announced at a later date.
