- Our holistic admissions process includes a policy on equity and diversity.聽The Admissions Committee strives to create an incoming class with a diversity of backgrounds, profiles, and experiences, where each student can make an important contribution to our Faculty and the legal profession. In particular, we welcome applications from Indigenous people, Black people, first generation university students, people with disabilities, racialized people, 2SLGBTQ+ people, women, people from an economically disadvantaged background, and others who may face systemic barriers that impact their access to education.
-
Before each admissions cycle begins, Admissions Committee members are encouraged to complete an equity education workshop offered by the Equity Team in the Office of the Provost which prepares Committee members to review files through an equity lens and to be mindful of implicit bias.
-
In order to more accurately and consistently measure our success in recruiting excellence from a broad spectrum of society, 海角社区 students will be invited to fill out the student census attached to the Academic Integrity Tutorial. 鈥疉ggregate statistics 聽from the student census are used to assess the effectiveness of and guide the evolution of our outreach and recruitment efforts.聽
