Student Services
From the moment you arrive on campus for 1L Orientation to the moment you walk across the stage at Commencement, the Law School's Student Services team is here for you.
Focusing on issues affecting our student community and acting as the primary liaison between students, faculty, the administration, and the wider University, we host student-focused events and programs, from wellness initiatives to presentations on academics and the bar exam. We also provide academic advising and coordinate a peer-to-peer mentorship program to help you thrive at St. John’s Law.
We have an open-door policy and encourage students to visit our office to ask questions or share concerns.
