Students may require different types of accommodations throughout their law school career. Below are the different types of accommodations students might need and how to request them. 

Long-Term Disability Accommodations

Review the Long-Term Disability Accommodations article for more detailed information about eligibility and applying for long-term disability accommodations. Contact the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs with any questions about long-term disability accommodations.

Accommodations for Survivors 

Accommodations are available for survivors of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, stalking, and sexual harassment. For more information, contact UHS Survivor Services. Other support services for survivors are listed here: ADD LINK

Accommodations for Pregnancy and Childbirth

Under Title IX, reasonable accommodations are available for pregnancy and childbirth. The Assistant Dean for Student Affairs may be able to reschedule an examination, provide a necessary accommodation during an exam, and/or consult with the student's professors to provide an in-class accommodation. Contact the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs to request accommodations.

The Law School also has a lactation room for nursing and pumping. If you need access, contact the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. View all lactation room locations on campus. 

Short-Term Accommodations or Temporary Disabilities

Short-term accommodations for being a victim of a crime, mental health concerns, a significant death, illness, injury, or hospitalization are at instructors' sole discretion. However, the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs can help you navigate these discussions with your instructors, so we recommend contacting the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs first.

For exam issues, contact Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.

Students seeking temporary accessible parking permits due to a temporary disability should review the accessible transportation options. The Law School does not have the authority to issue parking permits; all such arrangements must be made through UW Transportation Services. Limited accessible parking near the Law School during school hours often restricts the usefulness of such permits, so the use of other accessible transportation options is recommended.

Accommodations for Religious, Cultural, and Ethnic Observances

If you need accommodations for a religious, cultural, or ethnic observance, notify your instructors within the first two weeks of the semester of the specific dates conflicting with an assignment or class.

For exam conflicts, contact Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.
