New Student Enrollment Guide

First-Year J.D. Students

The academic year for entering students officially begins with Orientation Week with a full schedule of seminars, classes, and discussions. The first sessions of Criminal Law and Legal Research and Writing will be held during this week. Orientation is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 12, 2024 for both day and evening division students. You will receive additional information about Orientation Week and the start of classes in May.

Class sections and professors for entering students are automatically assigned by the Office of Admissions. Your section assignment, course schedule, and registration information will be forwarded to you in late June. 

We are pleased to offer an optional summer start for both day and evening division students that permits students to get a jump start on law school by taking Criminal Law during the summer term. Learn more.
