Disabilities
Persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend as the law school and hotels are modern, but interested students who request special accommodations should contact program coordinator Judy Corcoran to discuss availability. This measure is taken to ensure that facilities comparable to those in the United States are available in Austria for the disabled.
Academic Policies
Loyola’s general academic policies apply to foreign programs. Thus, students must attend 80 percent of all classes and final examinations will be graded on the traditional A through F scale. Students must check with their law schools to determine that the credit and grade will be accepted toward graduation requirements at their institutions.
Any student currently enrolled and in good standing at an ABA-accredited law school may register for the Vienna program. Last year’s program was enrolled to capacity (more than 130 students from Loyola and other law schools). As foreign students are invited, a few students from Austria and other foreign countries may participate.
Applicants should be aware that participation in foreign programs cannot always be used to accelerate graduation. Students interested in acceleration of graduation should consult an appropriate official at their own law school in light of ABA Accreditation Standard 305, Interpretation 4.
