Admission packets include information about all clubs, organizations, and support services at the School of Law, as well as an invitation to start new clubs/orgs at our now seven year old law school.
We do not collect any information from students related to sexual orientation.
Students are permitted to indicate a “preferred” name which is used in email address, correspondences, and the course rosters controlled/initiated/modified by the law school. The University’s management system (Registrar, diplomas, transcripts, etc.) requires a legal name and, therefore, record of a legal name change.
Our scholarship rubric is posted and available at: https://law.cu-portland.edu/admission-financial-aid/financial-aid. It is consistently applied to all students and 100% of students at Concordia Law receive a scholarship. All scholarships are non-conditional, meaning that students retain their scholarships for the duration of their enrollment.
At this point, no one has asked for funding to attend ANY type of focused learning or CSO opportunity. Club/Orgs are allocated funding and may use their funding in this manner. But, the law school is open to considering opportunities as requested.

Oregon State law prohibits discrimination, inter alia, on gender, identity, and sexual orientation. That policy is applied to all Concordia University employees (including the School of Law), regardless of physical location.

The law school has two single person restroom facilities, one of which also includes a shower. They are identified with a restroom sign and the doors can be locked.

Concordia Law has and will continue to encourage the formation of a student organization (PRIDE, Lambda, or other) that supports LGBTQ+ students. As a school that is only 7 years old, we are still developing important student organizations.
