Important decisions can come up quickly during the semester. Stop by the Dean of Students Office’s Know Where to Go: Before You Sign, Pay, Move, or Decide table to learn more about Attorney for Students and other campus support pathways that may be helpful before making decisions related to housing, leases, employment, finances, citations, consumer issues, withdrawal, or other student concerns.
This drop-in table will help students understand when the Attorney for Students may be an appropriate resource, how legal questions may intersect with other campus support needs, and where to start if they are unsure whether their concern is legal, financial, academic, personal, or related to another campus process.
The event is designed for general awareness and support navigation. Students do not need to have an active legal concern to stop by.
