The Law School offers an Academic Support Program to entering students invited to join the program based on information available through the admissions process. This program is coordinated by a The Academic Skills Program and the Office of Academic Affairs who has designed a program for students that might benefit from additional help in areas such as exam writing and legal analysis.

A second program coordinated through the Office of Academic Affairs is available to those upperclass students who are on academic probation. For these students tutoring is offered in selected courses by students who have taken those courses (preferably with the same instructor) and have been recommended by faculty members.
