Dean's Fellows Study Groups

Dean's Fellows Study Groups offer first-year students a chance to participate in a weekly study group for a specific class, and the group is facilitated by a Dean's Fellow — an upper-level (2L or 3L) student who excelled academically in that subject.

Writing Dean's Fellows

Writing Dean’s Fellows (WDF) are available for online appointments, during the semester, Monday – Friday.

If you wish to schedule a meeting with a WDF, please email AcademicAchievementProgram@law.miami.edu.

After determining the nature of your request, you will be assigned a WDF. However, prior to scheduling a meeting, please be sure that you’ve already incorporated any feedback from your L-Comm professor.

Also, please note that WDF do not provide line edits or track changes to writing samples, and you must disclose the degree to which others may have been involved in reviewing the writing sample in your cover page.
