We are excited to officially welcome you to our Pitt Law community! We will send out a survey the week before Orientation to determine whether or not you will be coming into the building or attending virtually. We will assign you a time slot to enter the building and give you a room number each day that you plan on attending. All sessions will be offered virtually if you are not able to be in the building. Masks are required if on campus.
