Student Resources
The College of Law is committed to equal educational opportunities for students with disabilities. The Disability Resource Center (“DRC”) at the University of Arizona is the office designated by the university to receive requests for reasonable accommodations. A student who, because of disability, seeks a reasonable accommodation for, among other things, attendance, class preparation, or class participation, or who anticipates barriers related to the format or requirements of the course, must provide documentation of the disability to the DRC and meet with a DRC Access Consultant to discuss accommodations. If the DRC determines that a disability-related accommodation is necessary, this will be communicated to the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, who will make the necessary arrangements with all affected faculty. Students who have temporary disabilities, illnesses, or other emergencies that require some accommodation in order to meet class requirements should consult with the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, who will determine what, if any, accommodation is necessary. The Assistant Dean of Student Affairs will make the necessary arrangements with all affected faculty.
Students may contact the Disability Resource Center at 520-621-3268 or drc-info@email.arizona.edu.
The College of Law offers academic support group tutoring in all substantive first-year courses. The group tutorials are offered free of cost to all first-year students. Tutors are second- and third-year students who did well in the class in prior year(s) and who are recommended by the professor teaching the class.
Individual tutoring is offered on an as-needed basis. The cost for individual tutoring is jointly covered by the College of Law and the student being individually tutored. Any questions concerning individual or group tutoring should be addressed to Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Willie Jordan-Curtis at 520-621-8602 or jordancu@email.arizona.edu.
The Arizona Law Writing Center, supervised by the Legal Writing Department, provides free writing-support services and resources to students in all University of Arizona Law degree programs.

Licensed professionals provide brief treatment for anxiety, depression, difficulties with relationships, family problems, food/body image concerns, alcohol and drug (ADD) concerns, life crises and other issues.
