Handbook of Academic Policies

Our Handbook of Academic Policies is your guide to policies and procedures in the JD program. It is informed by several important principles. We apply our policies in a manner to maintain academic standards and contribute to academic excellence.

We are sensitive to issues of diversity and equity. Our policies are designed to set consistent procedures and standards at the law school while recognizing that equity and fairness may sometimes require flexibility and variation.

We make every effort to ensure that our policies are transparent and readily accessible to students. We encourage students to raise matters of concern in the knowledge that privacy and confidentiality will be respected.
