quick Student Legal Services survey

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:36:40 -0400

UMBC is exploring adding a Student Legal Service that would provide our students with information about a selection of legal matters to enable them to address their own personal concerns. Typically, when universities offer these resources, they are funded out of student fees; accordingly, your Graduate Student Association, as fee holder for the graduate student fee, has been participating in discussions this year about potentially creating such an office at UMBC.

See, for instance, the website for the new Student Legal Aid office that UMD, College Park, has recently added for its students:

https://gradlegalaid.umd.edu/.

If the GSA Senate decides to help fund such an office this spring, it might be able to start operation this fall.

As part of the preliminary research and planning process, we'd like to know what day(s) and time(s) would work for the most students for services to be available--that way we can ensure that any attorneys or agencies we work with could accommodate those times.

To share your answer with us, please submit this survey by 3 PM EDT this Friday, 28 Mar 2025:

This survey is anonymous; we will not know who has submitted a response or what they have indicated. You do have to be logged into just your UMBC email account to access the survey.
