Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations for exams are encouraged to register with the Office of Accessibility Services as early in the semester as possible to allow for proper coordination and planning.
The Accessibility Services team works closely with each student to address exam-related needs, develop an individualized accommodations plan, and schedule exams accordingly.
For additional information or assistance, please visit https://student.law.miami.edu/support/accessibility-and-inclusion/ or contact the office directly via email at access@miami.edu.
LL.M. Students and International Semester Exchange Students
In proctored final examinations or timed and graded assessments of more than two hours in length, an LL.M. or International Semester Exchange student may bring a translation dictionary and will be given one additional hour to complete the exam, if:
- English is not the student's native language; and
- The student does not have a J.D. or equivalent degree, a bachelor's or equivalent degree, or a graduate degree, from a university in the United States or other English-speaking country.
In final examinations or timed and graded assessments of two hours or less, the same rules apply, except that the additional time will be one-half hour. Eligible LL.M. students will receive extra time throughout their LL.M. program and eligible students who transition from the LL.M. to the J.D. program are allowed extra time, one semester, into the J.D. program.
