Legal Services for Students (LSS)
Legal Services for Students provides free consultations on some (though not all) legal issues that may affect current UT graduate and undergraduate students. Advice is available for many landlord/tenant and rental issues, criminal charges, traffic tickets, consumer issues, car wrecks, and employment law questions not involving disputes against UT. More information can be found here.
International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS)
International students often face special legal or procedural challenges related to immigration advising, maintaining visa status, employment issues, immigration compliance and reporting as required by the federal government, health insurance compliance, federal tax filing assistance, and international travel issues. ISSS provides specialized advising services and programs for these students. See this guide to their services.
Student Veteran Services
The University offers support for students who are veterans. More information can be found here.
Office of the Student Ombuds
