Rule 305 - Applications for Admission by Transfer of UBE Score, Fees (a) UBE transfer applicants are those applicants who have taken the UBE in another jurisdiction. It is the applicant's sole responsibility to contact the NCBE to initiate steps for the transfer of the applicant's UBE score. (b) Eligibility. A UBE transfer applicant may be admitted without further examination if the applicant earned a passing score on the UBE at an examination that was conducted less than three years prior to application for admission. A score is considered to have been earned on the date of administration of the UBE that resulted in the score. The application must be accompanied by evidence of a passing MPRE score. The UBE transfer applicant must also meet the eligibility requirements contained in Rule 302(a), (b), (d), (e), (g) and (h). (c) Applications for admission by UBE score transfer shall be filed with the Clerk of the Court and shall be accompanied by a fee established by the Board and the Court together with a copy of the applicant's Request for Preparation of a Character Report to the NCBE. Refunds will not be made in the event an applicant is found ineligible for admission by UBE score transfer nor in the event of withdrawal of an application. A certificate of good standing from the highest court for each jurisdiction in which the applicant is admitted to practice law issued within the last 90 days shall accompany the application. Incomplete applications will not be accepted for filing. Additional investigation fees may be required by the Board, including but not limited to, the expenses necessary for the Board and/or the Committee to obtain records and documents and the fee necessary to pay the services of an investigator, if deemed of assistance to the Board and/or Committee. (d) The application prescribed by the Board shall be submitted with all supporting data required by the Board to determine eligibility under this rule. Supporting data shall include proof the applicant: (1) Has obtained a scaled score of 85 points or greater on the MPRE; and (2) Has obtained a scaled score of 270 total points or greater on the UBE. An applicant for admission by UBE score transfer must sit for the entire UBE in the same exam administration to earn a portable UBE score. MBE score transfers from other jurisdictions or from previous examinations will not be accepted for purposes of waiving the MBE portion of the exam. (e) The Board shall notify the Court of a UBE transfer applicant's eligibility for admission after receipt of results from the MPRE and after the Committee has made its recommendation regarding the applicant's good moral character and fitness to practice law. (f) The Court shall notify each applicant of the applicant's admission status as promptly as feasible following receipt of the Board's and the Committee's recommendations regarding the applicant's eligibility for admission.
