The Office of Student Affairs is dedicated to providing students with the assistance, support and guidance they need to thrive in the demanding law school environment. We address quality of life issues and provide a range of services including academic advisement, disability accommodations, and support for student groups and journals. The Office of Student Affairs publishes an electronic newsletter that links to upcoming events in and around the Law School and writing competitions. We also publish the Law Student Handbook, an indispensable guide to Law School policies and to services offered by the Law School and the University and the Student Organization Handbook, an essential guide to help student organizations and journals navigate the administrative tasks associated with running a student group.

Other services offered by the Office of Student Affairs include but are not limited to academic leave requests, code of academic conduct violations, commencement, event scheduling for student organization and journals, general concerns/ question, orientation, other accommodations (i.e. Sabbath Observance), transfer between divisions, withdrawal and transfer requests
