Housing- Our quiet, residential location provides plenty of apartment and houses within walking/biking distance or a 10-15 minute drive.
Immunization- All Mercer Law students (incoming and transfer) are required to complete and submit this form to the Student Health Services Office on main campus before entering school. Please refer to the immunization policy for more information.
Laptop Program- The Law School provides a laptop computer for every incoming first-year law student.
Official Final Transcript- You must have your final academic undergraduate transcript, which reflects the date you graduated, mailed to us from the Registrar’s Office of your undergraduate school. The transcript which was previously provided to Law Services will NOT meet this requirement. This information must be received by us before classes begin.
Orientation- Orientation is mandatory for all incoming and transfer students.
Parking- Students park in the upper student parking lots. The lower lot is reserved for faculty, staff, and visitors.
Professionalism Orientation for First-Year Students- This is a highly unique program with extensive focus on ethics, professionalism, and what to expect while living the life of a lawyer.
Registrar’s Office- You will find information regarding academic calendars, courses offered, exam schedules, and student surveys.
Student Handbook - The printable document will outline policies regarding degree requirements, grading policy, financial information, exam policy, students with disabilities, and other important policies and procedures.
Student Health Insurance - Mercer requires all students to have health insurance coverage. In order to enforce this policy, all students will be automatically enrolled and charged for health insurance each semester. You will be provided the opportunity to waive the student insurance coverage and have the charge removed from your Mercer account if you provide satisfactory evidence that you have primary health insurance coverage.
Visit- Please plan to visit Mercer Law School at your convenience. We provide a very collegial and supportive environment and want to share that with you.
