Students with disabilities must complete their semesterly registration every semester enrolled in classes with both the Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) and the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) to ensure the continuation of your accommodations and support services. Not completing both steps will indicate to the University and the Law School that you wish to forfeit your accommodation for that given semester.

Please make sure to:

• Submit your registration with ARC: https://hunter.accessiblelearning.com/UDC/
• Complete your registration with the Office of Student Affairs: https://form.jotform.com/lawstudentaffairs/accommodations-registration

Any law student making updates to their existing accommodations with ARC must be submitted by the priority deadline November 1st (Fall Semester), April 1st (Spring Semester), or July 1st (Summer Term).

Semesterly Approval from ARC and Implantation by the OSA 

Step One: Students must meet with the University’s Accessibility Resource Center every semester they are enrolled and seek to use their accommodations.

Step Two: Students must receive their semester ARC approval letter detailing their approved accommodations for that semester only. 

Step Three: Students must meet with Yannick Brookes, Associate Dean of Students, their first semester receiving accommodations at the Law School.

Step Four: Students must submit this Law School’s Student Accommodations Registration Form every semester they are enrolled and seek to use their accommodations. 

Step Five: For midterm exams, students will receive a calendar invite from lawexams@udc.edu with their exam details 36 hours in advance of their exam.  

Step Six: For final exams, students will receive an email detailing their accommodations and their final exam schedule. 

 

Academic Success and Bar Preparation Program

Would you like the Academic Success and Bar Preparation Program to receive your current accommodations information if this is your final semester?

Please note that accommodations granted in law school, undergraduate studies, or high school may differ significantly from those approved for the bar exam. Each jurisdiction has its own formal process for requesting bar exam accommodations, which includes documentation requirements and an appeals process.

Regardless of whether you receive all, some, or none of your requested accommodations, Professor Shakisha Morgan, Director of the Academic Success and Bar Preparation Program, and her team are committed to supporting your success.

If you select “Yes,” Dean Yannick Brookes will share your name and current ARC-approved accommodations with Professor Morgan so her team can begin developing a tailored support plan for your bar preparation. If you prefer not to share this information, simply leave this question unanswered or select “No.”

In-Class Accommodations

These are modifications or supports provided during regular class activities and participation. Their purpose is to ensure that students can access the learning environment equitably alongside their peers. Examples include:

• Accessible seating arrangements - Providing seating that accommodates wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
• Assistive technology – Permitting the use of devices such as screen readers, audio recorders, or speech-to-text software during class.

TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS

These are modifications designed for exams or quizzes to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Unlike in-class accommodations, testing accommodations specifically focus on adjustments to the exam format or testing environment. Examples include:

• Extended time: Providing additional time to complete the exam.
• Alternate formats: Offering tests in accessible formats such as large print, digital text, or audio.
