School of Law Student Life

Western New England University School of Law offers a collegial learning environment unlike any other you may have experienced. Our close-knit community encourages students to be active participants in student life as members and leaders of a wide variety of student organizations, gaining valuable skills that are transferable to your professional career.

The Office of Student Affairs provides advice and counseling on academic and non-academic matters for all law students. The office acts as a liaison between students, faculty, and other law school administrators. It provides important information and resources to students on a vast array of issues. When you need answers, the Office of Student Affairs is a great place to start.

Services include: 

• Short-term counseling and assistance with academic and personal problems, leave of absence, and other issues related to a law student's life. 
• Coordinating student activities such as first-year orientation and graduation.
• Hosting workshops designed to enrich student understanding of law school procedures and life as a law student.
• Overseeing the Student Bar Association and student organizations.
• Acting as the primary coordinator and liaison for students with disabilities and overseeing the process of providing accommodations to students with disabilities.
• Assist with short-term emergency loans.
• Implement procedures for scholarship opportunities for returning students.

We have an open door policy. We encourage students to address any issue that relates to or enriches your law school experience.
