Here is a brief checklist to ensure that JD 1L students have not missed important matters regarding the start of classes:
Class Assignments:
Brightspace – Check Brightspace for syllabi and assignments for any courses for which you are registered. It is important to check Brightspace on a regular basis as professors may post new assignments and information at any time. Please note that not all faculty post assignments. You should email law.helpdesk@nyu.edu if you have any issues or difficulties with accessing Brightspace.
Course Syllabi or Early Semester Assignments – Check the Course Syllabi and Early Semester Assignments web page.
Schedules of Classes and Course Requirements: Please review the Fall 2023 course schedule, exam schedule, and any information which is stated in the course description. Be sure to check the course schedule for any revised room assignments.
Calendars: Please pay careful attention to the dates and deadlines in the Academic Calendar and Registration Calendar.
Online forms: Each new student must review and complete these forms by Tuesday, August 29. Forms may be accessed here.
