The Week of Orientation
Bring a photo ID so you can get your DragonCard. You will not be able to get a DragonCard before the start of orientation as you are not yet an active student. We will be distributing the DragonCards at check-in; students should not go to the DragonCard office individually.
Bring items for classes for the week i.e., pens, paper, laptop, necessary books.
Meals for the week are provided as noted on the Orientation schedule. If the schedule does not indicate that a lunch or reception is being provided, then students are on their own to bring or buy food as needed.
Dress for most of the week is casual, but not pajamas-casual.
Please plan to dress in courtroom attire for the professionalism oath ceremony. Options include dark suits, dress shirt, tie, dress shoes, skirt or pant suits, dress and blazer, etc. We encourage you to come to class that day in your professional attire so you are not delayed to City Hall, but you will have some time to change.
Locker assignments will be available to you on the first day of orientation via the Locker Information Retrieval Form. Locks are provided, and you may not change or remove the locks. The lockers are yours for your entire time at the law school.
