Students with Disabilities
The School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of disability. Any information concerning an applicant’s disability provided during the admissions process is strictly voluntary and will be kept in accordance with state and federal laws relating to confidentiality. No limitations are placed on the number or proportion of persons with disabilities who may be admitted or enrolled.
The School of Law provides academic accommodations necessary to afford equal opportunity and full participation in all law programs for qualified students with professionally verified disabilities. To facilitate the verification of disabilities and the determination of appropriate accommodations before a student enrolls, the law school encourages voluntary self-identification by students with disabilities as soon as possible after admission.
The dean of the School of Law is the senior administrative officer responsible for law school policies affecting students with disabilities. With the advice of the appropriate faculty committee, and the administrative staff responsible for implementing policy, the dean ensures that these policies are both educationally sound and responsive to the needs of students with disabilities.
The Policy and Procedures for the Provision of Academic Accommodations to Students with Disabilities at Santa Clara University School of Law is available from the senior assistant dean for student services. Students who seek accommodations should request a copy. Accommodations are provided through the Office of Disabilities Resources. For details, visit www.scu.edu/advising/learning/disabilities.
