New Student Checklist

As you prepare to join us at Emory Law, we have a checklist of actions and forms to complete.

  1. Final Transcript 
    Emory Law requires final, official transcripts indicating the degree conferral dates. Transcripts are not considered final without a degree conferral date. Official copies of final transcripts must be to sent to us through LSAC if you did not submit them with your application.
  2. Health Forms and Insurance Requirements 
    Complete all required student health information and health forms by the corresponding deadlines with Emory University's online Health Services Portal. All students must meet the immunization requirements, even if they are a remote (online) student.
  3. Review our Laptop and Computer Recommendations 
    Emory Law students are required to own a computer. We recommend that you invest in a new notebook computer from a reputable manufacturer with a three-year warranty. Try to purchase a notebook computer that balances light weight and long battery life. Most exams are taken on computer and most faculty members permit students to take notes on computer in class. The law school supports both Mac and Windows systems.
  4. Complete the Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students 
    All incoming Emory University students are required to complete the Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students (SAP-G) education module. SAP-G is an online learning platform designed to empower you to make well-informed decisions about issues that affect your years at Emory and beyond. It takes approximately 45 minutes to complete (closed captioning is available for video portions). You will receive an email to your Emory email address with instructions on how to complete the module.
  5. Set Up Your Network ID and Password 
    Your NetID allows you to access OPUS (Online Pathway to University Students). Set up your Network ID here. 
  6. Log in to OPUS (Online Pathway to University Students) 
    OPUS is your portal to student accounts, the registrar, and many other services at Emory. Explore OPUS and get familiar with the resources you will use as an Emory Law student. Submit a help request if you cannot log in or access OPUS. Include your first and last name and your Emory Net ID. DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR PASSWORD.
  7. Create an Emory Email Account 
    Your Emory Email address will be available 24 - 48 hours after you pay a first deposit in OPUS. You will access your account using the same NetID and password that you use for OPUS access. Your email address is your NETID(at)emory.edu.
  8. Submit EmoryCard Photo (only for students who plan to visit campus regularly)
    The EmoryCard is the official ID card of Emory University. It permits access to facilities and events and can be used to purchase goods and services at the university and at a wide range of merchants throughout the community. Submit your photo here and please follow all submission guidelines.
  9. Duo Authentication 
    Many services at Emory require Duo authentication before you can log in from off-campus. Duo provides extra security by checking an app on your phone before allowing you to login to important Emory services, such as Email and OPUS. Learn more about Duo here and install the software on your phone. If you have questions about Duo or configuring Duo, please contact the University help desk at (404) 727-7777.
  10. Student Accommodations
    Please visit the Department of Accessibility Services website for information about our policies and procedures and to begin the registration process. The Department of Accessibility Services strongly encourages new students to submit their accommodation requests at least four weeks prior to the first day of classes to ensure there is enough time before the start of the semester. If you have additional questions or concerns pertaining to accommodations that you may need while you are a student at Emory Law, please contact Katie Cox, senior director of registration, by sending an email to katie.cox@emory.edu. In your email, please include your full name, Emory ID number, and the program in which you will be enrolled.
