SECOND LANGUAGE EXAM ACCOMMODATIONS
Suffolk University Law School may grant exam accommodations to students whose first
language is not English. Please note that exam accommodations are granted to allow students
whose first language is not English to become acclimated to the law school examination process.
The following criteria assist in determining the appropriateness of accommodations:
1.
Students who attended a secondary school where instruction was primarily or exclusively
in English are not eligible.
2.
Students who attended a college or university for two or more years where instruction
was primarily or exclusively in English are similarly not eligible.
Any eligible international student who is seeking second language exam accommodations must
complete and submit the online Second Language Exam Accommodation Request Form NO
LATER THAN TWENTY-ONE DAYS prior to the examination. Students needing assistance
completing the form should contact the Dean of Students Office with questions.
Students granted second language accommodations may receive extended time on their
examinations. However, an accommodation of additional time on examinations in subsequent
semesters and/or academic years is not automatic. Please note that second language
accommodations are not available for papers, class assignments or oral presentations. In
addition, second language accommodations will only be granted for take-home examinations for
which the student has less than 24 hours in which to complete the exam (no second language
accommodations will apply to take-home exams in which the student has at least 24 hours in
which to complete the exam).
