Attendance at Orientation is mandatory. Orientation will begin on the morning of Monday, August 20 and continue through Tuesday, August 21. Day, evening, LL.M., transfer and visiting students attend the same orientation. Students in the evening program who work should advise employers well in advance (now!) that this is a mandatory event for all incoming students. We know that leave time is precious to our working students, but we believe these two days present opportunities for you to meet your future classmates, learn about the law school, meet some of the faculty and deans, and pick up some study tips. The orientation schedule will be forthcoming in late July or early August. This is one of very few law school events that you are required to attend. There will be time during orientation to purchase books, obtain parking vouchers and student identification cards.
Classes start on Wednesday, August 22. The Office of Registration and Enrollment will send you your section assignment, booklist and first class assignment information in the beginning of August. It is critical that you let us know if you move or change your address this summer. Please update your contact information with the Office of Registration and Enrollment: reg_enroll@law.umaryland.edu.
