Admitted Students
Congratulations on your acceptance to the
IU School of Law-Indianapolis!
Please check this page regularly for important information for admitted students. Below you will find some information about things you should be aware of before the first day of class:
New Student Orientation (8/20 - 8/22)
Orientation info can be found here: http://indylaw.indiana.edu/orientation
Registration
Registration for incoming 1Ls is in progress. Because first year students have a fixed curriculum, you will not choose your own class schedule. The Office of Student Affairs will register ALL incoming students for fall classes. The full time (day) students will be equally split between two sections (A or B) and registered into the appropriate course sections.
Please check your OneStart account for your class schedule. PLEASE NOTE: LARC sections will be assigned at Orientation (or just prior to Orientation). LARC information may be mailed to your IU e-mail address, so make sure your school e-mail account is set up and working properly. If you have trouble seeing your professors’ names on your OneStart schedule, you can refer to the Course List on the Current Students page: http://indylaw.indiana.edu/students/schedules.cfm
Once you have your schedule, please also check your bursar account. The bursar does not mail out tuition statements. You will need to check your account through OneStart to view your bill, see due dates, and make payments. For more information on fees, bills, and payment options, please visit the Bursar’s website at: http://bursar.iupui.edu/. Your first bill should be due in August.
