Disability Accommodations – Textbook, Classroom, and Assessment Accommodations
It is the policy of our law school to make reasonable accommodations for students whose disabilities entitle them to accommodations.
Classroom & Textbook Accommodations
If you need classroom or textbook accommodations for the current academic semester and have not already requested them, please contact DRS as soon as possible to set up a meeting.
Assessment Accommodations
If you need accommodations for final exams or other assessments (e.g., quizzes, mid-term exams) for the current academic semester and have not already requested them, please contact Disability Resources for Students as soon as possible to set up a meeting. Gathering the information required for accommodations often involves considerable time and effort, so students requesting accommodations should begin the accommodations process as soon as possible.
Final Exams: Disability Resources for Students is committed to assisting students in obtaining appropriate accommodations, but accommodations requested after Friday, November 1, 2019 (both initial requests and continuing requests) are not guaranteed to be in place by the time law school exams begin on Monday, December 2, 2019. To ensure adequate time to process final exam accommodation requests, students seeking accommodations for the first time while in law school at The University of Memphis should contact DSR to begin the accommodations process no later than Friday, September 20, 2019. Students who have previously received final exam accommodations while in law school at The University of Memphis should contact their coordinator at Disability Resources for Students to update or renew their accommodation plans by Friday, October 18, 2019.
A student who may be entitled to an accommodation should contact Disability Resources for Students, 110 Wilder Tower, at (901) 678-2880.
If you are unsure whether you might qualify for an accommodation or wish to talk with someone about the process, please contact Jennifer Murchison, Assistant Director of Disability Resources for Students, (678-2880). For further information, please go to the University’s Disability Resources for Students webpage located here.
