Students With Disabilities

UVA Law welcomes all students into our community and wants students with disabilities to be able to participate fully in the curriculum at the law school. The Office of Student Affairs is the point of contact for all students with long-term and short-term accommodation needs in the classroom and/or on examinations. Students needing accommodations should contact Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Sarah Davies.

Temporary Accommodations

From time to time, a student will be injured, become ill, or suffer from a mental health issue and require an accommodation for a temporary period. Students should bring such issues to Student Affairs, not faculty.

All such requests should be accompanied by a form completed by a physician. You can get a copy of the form from Student Affairs. If you are not able to get a form completed, you may provide a note from a physician advising of the nature of the condition, the medically recommended accommodation and the length of time the student should receive an accommodation.

If you are injured or become ill during the semester or during exams and will need an accommodation as a result, please contact Student Affairs as soon as you are aware that you may need an accommodation.
