It is the policy of the Law School to provide reasonable testing accommodations for students with a documented disability, physical impairment, or mental impairment. Students are not required to disclose any disability except to the extent required to allow the School to provide reasonable accommodations in conformity with the guidelines set by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California. All requests for accommodations are kept confidential to protect the privacy rights of students.

Service and Support Animals
Service Animals
A service animal is a dog (sometimes referred to as a guide dog or signal dog) that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. In some cases, a miniature horse may be permitted as a service animal. All other types of animals do not qualify as a service animal. The work or task a service animal has been trained to do must be directly related to the individual’s disability. For example, a guide dog who assists an individual who is blind with navigation, a dog who alerts a person who is deaf, or a dog who retrieves items for a person using a wheelchair. Similarly, a person with a seizure disorder may use a service animal trained to detect when the individual is going to have a seizure and/or remind them to take their medication. Providing emotional support or companionship does not constitute work or tasks under this definition. Service animals are typically allowed to accompany individuals with a disability wherever they go, including class, work, eateries, public transportation, residences, etc.
Lincoln Law School of San Jose complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in allowing the use of service animals by students and visitors while on campus.
Students requiring the use of a Service Animal should contact the Dean prior to bringing the animal to campus to effectively coordinate the accommodation request.
Support Animals
A Support Animal (sometimes referred to as an assistance animal, comfort animal, therapy animal, emotional support animal or companion animal) is an animal that provides emotional or other support/assistance that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s disability. An emotional support animal is not a service animal. An emotional support animal does not qualify for the access protection given to service animals under the ADA. As such, students are not permitted to bring support animals anywhere on campus grounds or in campus buildings, including classrooms.
Pets on Campus
Other than Service Animals as defined and prearranged above, Lincoln Law School of San Jose has a “no pet” policy on campus. Please contact the Dean with any questions or concerns with regards to this policy.
