New Student Checklist

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

  1. 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. 
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Register for Orientation: Orientation is mandatory for all students and will take place August 12-14 at the law school, and classes begin the following week on Monday, August 17. The registration form will be emailed later in the summer.
  6. Final Transcript: The American Bar Association requires Emory Law to receive a final transcript indicating the date of your undergraduate degree conferral. If LSAC does not have this final transcript in your Credential Assembly Service (CAS) report, please have your final transcript sent to LSAC so that they can update the CAS report with the final version. If you are a foreign trained attorney, who plans to sit for a US bar exam, request a copy of your LLB transcript to be sent to the bar examiners of the jurisdiction where you plan to practice. 
  7. Submit EmoryCard Photo: 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 by July 1 to ensure your EmoryCard will be ready to pick up at Orientation. Please follow all submission guidelines.
  8. Health Forms and Insurance Requirements: Review the immunization requirements, check your status, and upload the corresponding documentation to the Student Health Portal by August 1. If these requirements are not met by the deadline, a registration hold will be placed on your account, and you will not be able to register for classes. If you plan to opt out of the Emory University student health insurance plan, you must submit a waiver before August 14. Otherwise, you will be automatically enrolled.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Register for On-Campus Parking: If you would like to have a car on campus, you must register using the parking transportation website. Fall 2026 parking registration opens at 10:00 a.m. on June 23 and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
  12. 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. If you are a transfer student, please indicate that as well. 

Housing

Emory University's on-campus graduate and professional housing, The Ridge, is a great option for incoming students. If you would like to learn more about The Ridge and apply for this housing opportunity, please visit their website. 

Additionally, Emory's Off-Campus Housing website can assist you in finding other housing options in the area.
