Washburn University School of Law is committed to creating equal opportunities throughout your educational journey. We provide reasonable accommodations for students who are qualified individuals with disabilities. This is defined as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Students seeking an accommodation should initiate the request process by contacting the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, who serves as the disability services officer for Washburn Law. 

To make a request for academic accommodations due to disability, you will need to complete the accommodation request form and then have your physician complete the disability assessment form.

Food pantry

Food insecurity can add to the stress of being a student. Bods Feeding Bods is Washburn University's food and commodities pantry. It is stocked with groceries, household and hygiene items as well as books and even school supplies. You will be able to shop the pantry like you would a grocery store and take one worry off your plate.
Barbecue sauce and seasonings sit on a shelf with shelves of food behind.

Campus safety

Washburn is committed to providing a safe and healthy campus. The university has its own police department (WUPD) that is staffed by trained and licensed law enforcement officers who provide 24/7 safety and security services. Officers will escort students to their vehicles if requested. Cameras, strategically placed throughout the campus, provide an extra set of eyes to keep students, faculty and staff safe. Plus WUPD offers training classes and maintains an emergency management system called iAlert that provide added layers of protection.
