Reasonable accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis in a collaborative effort between students and Disability Services. The Disability Services team will engage in an interactive process with each student to determine supportive accommodation plans for their legal education. Established accommodations from a prior institution will be taken into consideration during this process.
The following list offers examples of potential reasonable accommodations a student may explore and utilize at Mitchell Hamline School of Law:
- Reading – accessible e-texts, access to text-to-speech software
- Testing – extended time, distraction-reduced testing environment,
- Notetaking – computer access, audio-recording technology
- Hearing – ASL interpreters, real-time captioning, microphone usage
- Vision – Braille materials, audio description for videos, course materials
in advance - Classroom related – ergonomic or adjustable furniture, breaks to stand or
leave the room, food/water needed, access to monitoring devices (cell phone for hearing aids,
blood sugar), recording lectures, etc.
