Office of Disability Services

The Law Center remains strongly committed to our long-standing policy of providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. The faculty and staff work to provide the most appropriate accommodations for each individual student to ensure that all students have equal access to Law Center programs and activities and have equal opportunity for learning and pursuing academic interests.

Advising

The Director of Disability Services meets with students on an individual basis to discuss various aspects of the law school experience beyond academic accommodations. Topics on which you may wish to consult include:

• Study skills
• Course selection
• Disclosure of disabilities to professors or employers
• Preparing an application for accommodations on the bar or MPRE

Confidentiality

All sensitive and identifying information is kept confidential. Staff who will be handling or have access to student information sign a Confidentiality Agreement that is maintained by the Director of Disability Services.

Georgetown University Law Center has a Non-Discrimination Policy that ensures equal treatment in the admissions process for students with disabilities. Applicants may choose to disclose a disability when applying but are not required to do so. Students who are interested in additional information may contact the Office of Admissions at (202) 662-9010. To protect confidentiality, students may ask questions without providing their name or identifying information.
