The Student Handbook provides information about academic programs, policies, and procedures and general information of use to students at the College of Law.

Welcome

The Student Handbook is designed to be a source book for your life as a student at the University of Iowa College of Law. Take the time to browse through its contents and note that it contains all the policies and procedures – on course selection, grading, retention, and misconduct – that you’ll need to know while you’re a student.

As the Associate Dean for Student & Career Services, I am the administrator who is specifically charged to serve as a resource for your student concerns and career building. My role is to counsel and assist you. Whether you are concerned with progress toward your degree, course scheduling, classes outside the law school, career goals, personal problems or family matters, or anything that interferes with your having a successful experience at school, I’ll help or find someone else who can. When I hear about problems that are affecting students at the College of Law, I’ll make sure that these concerns are heard by the faculty and other administrators. If the problem can’t be fixed, I’ll attempt to explain why.

I am also available to members of student organizations in the College of Law who need information or counsel on developing programs, getting funding, and negotiating the bureaucratic operations of student activities at the University of Iowa. Members and officers are welcome to stop by at any time.

I look forward to getting to know you and serve you.

Carin N. Crain,
Associate Dean for Student & Career Services
