Complete all required student health information and health forms online with Emory University's online Health Services Portal. All students must meet the immunization requirements, even if they are a remote (online) student. - 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. - 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. - 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. - Log in to OPUS (Online Pathway to University Students)

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. - Create an Emory Email Account
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. - Upload Your Photo for Your EmoryCard (Student ID) (only for students who plan to visit campus regularly)
