• Enrollment

All students who secure their seat in the fall 2012 entering class by paying a seat deposit may enroll for fall classes.   

Students who submit a seat deposit will be e-mailed an invitation to enroll.  This invitation will arrive in your e-mail inbox and will contain detailed instructions on how to complete the enrollment process.   Enrollment at TU is easy. It is an electronic process that will likely require less than five minutes to complete.   Completion will enable you to immediately print your fall schedule. 

NOTE for our Reduced Schedule students:  Admitted students who have expressed interest in enrolling in fewer than 12 hours or part time and who pay their seat deposits are required to first meet with our Associate Dean of Students Affairs, Martha Cordell, before enrolling.  Dean Cordell will begin meeting with incoming reduced schedule students to discuss their schedules. To set up an appointment to meet with her please call 918-631-3319.

As a courtesy to our incoming class, we welcome you to attend our annual Pre-Orientation Day scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 16th.  Open only to admitted students who have definite plans to attend law school at TU, this event is designed to be a “one stop shop” for all incoming first year law students giving them an opportunity to speak with representatives from housing, financial aid, student health insurance, campus recreation and others and gather information that will be helpful to you as you prepare to begin law school at TU.  Only those who submit seat deposits will receive an invitation to this event.  Invitations will be distributed as soon as they become available.   
  
Please note that this is not a mandatory event but one some incoming students may find very helpful in the law school transition.
