MANDATORY ASSESSMENTS

Students of concern for at risk behavior may be mandated by the School of Law to be assessed by a mental health counselor. A student who evidences emotional distress or a health concern should be reported to the Associate Dean of Students.

In cases in which the Associate Dean of Students determines that the student is at risk, the Associate Dean of Students and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs may mandate that the student meet with the School of Law counselor for a professional assessment of at risk behavior. The student must comply with the counselor’s treatment recommendation. The student will be asked to complete a release of information to disclose to the Associate Dean of Students the student’s attendance at each session.

Referrals for mandatory assessment shall NOT constitute disciplinary action. However, failure of the student to comply with this policy may result in sanctions, including mandatory medical withdrawal. Additionally, if the student withdraws from school or otherwise fails to complete the mandated sessions prior to the end of the semester, the student may be required to complete an assessment prior to enrolling in subsequent semesters.

REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN

Upon mandatory assessment, the Associate Dean of Students shall make a determination of an appropriate remedial plan of action for the student. When appropriate, the Associate Dean of Students may consult with the Student Support Team. Members of the Student Support Team consist of administrators and/or professors selected by, and serving at the discretion of the Dean of the School of Law. Team members will review the matter and reports and determine an appropriate course of action for the student which will best benefit the student and the School of Law community by ensuring the student’s ability to meet academic standards and compliance with applicable conduct codes. In cases which disability is a concern, the team shall make recommendations as to reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals.
