Academic Support Resources

We serve every student by providing personalized academic advising, access to online academic skills resources, and individualized support. Our mission is to create a cohesive academic support network and advance academic skills instruction across the curriculum to maximize our students’ academic success in law school and beyond. Current students may access any of the resources below at MyHastings.

The Legal Writing Resource Center supports Hastings students as they strive to become strong legal writers. Through interactive, individual conferences, the LWRC provides students with feedback on legal writing and editing. The LWRC’s primary focus is on writing skills, such as grammar, syntax, and citation. The LWRC also offers handouts and occasional workshops on a range of writing topics. Please visit the Legal Writing Resource Center (LWRC) on MyHastings for guides and to book an appointment.

The College’s COVID-19 Prevention Plan & Access Policy as of May 18, 2022 is available here.

Carbon health is offering the COVID Positive Care program to UC Hastings students who test positive. Under the program, clinicians regularly monitor patients, help to manage symptoms, and address any complications as early as possible. Monitoring and early intervention is proven to reduce exacerbations and the risk of hospitalization and potential long term effects from COVID.

2L and 3L Students who are not receiving merit based scholarships may apply for need-based grants. Need eligibility is determined by the College based on information provided in the required FAFSA and UC Hastings Financial Aid Supplement and proof of having borrowed money from a third party to pay for at least part of the cost of attendance at UC Hastings during the year in which the grant is applied. Need-based grant amounts for all recipients may vary from year to year based on budgetary conditions.
