We will send you a letter soon with your Indiana University ID number and instructions for accessing the IU account management system. With this information you will be able to create a network account, e-mail address, and access registration and financial information online.
The Law School requires that new students have a laptop computer.
Details on favorite law student housing options will be sent by mail. Additionally, listings of summer sublets and roommate opportunities are listed on this site. If you would like to advertise for a roommate, contact Dani Weatherford at maweathe@indiana.edu.
You are encouraged to visit the campus and attend a first-year law class. Options include: private visits, Spring Law Day and open houses. Private visits are arranged on an individual basis and tours are conducted by current law students. Contact the Admissions Office at 812-855-4765 to schedule a visit.
During the spring and summer, the Law School will host networking receptions across the country. These receptions are a great way to meet alumni, current students and future classmates from your city. Watch for e-mail invitations and annoucements.
