As a student at the University of San Francisco's School of Law (USFCA), getting prepared for your first year of law school can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to navigating campus parking and orientation. Here are some essential details you should know about parking permits, orientation sessions, and course registration.

Firstly, full-time parking permits for the Fall and Spring semesters will be available through a lottery application system. Due to limited parking options on campus, public transportation is strongly recommended. You can purchase daily parking permits at the Lone Mountain parking kiosk during Orientation week. Additionally, free parking will be available at the Kendrick Hall parking lot on Monday and Tuesday during Orientation week.

Regarding orientation, all incoming 1L students are required to attend check-in on the first day of Orientation, where you'll need to present your USF Mobile One Card. Check-in will take place in the lower level Rotunda of Kendrick Hall. The orientation program consists of both in-person sessions and online assignments, designed to ease your transition into law school.

During Orientation week (August 12-16), you'll also have a chance to register for fall classes, which will be finalized by the first day of Orientation. Attendance is mandatory for all sessions, typically held between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. You can expect a preliminary schedule to be available in July 2024, with a final Orientation schedule shared on the first day of Orientation.

As you prepare to start your academic journey at USFCA, keep in mind that the first week of classes combines the start of first-year classes with relevant Orientation workshops and lectures designed to help you thrive. The task of preparing you for a successful and rigorous academic challenge begins with Orientation for new first-year students.

Remember that there will be reading assignments for Orientation, so make sure you're prepared to stay engaged and focused throughout the program. With this information, you'll be well-equipped to tackle your first year of law school at USFCA with confidence and ease.
