Dear Admitted Student,

Congratulations on your admission to the University of Miami School of Law! We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and welcome you to our School of Law.

The Office of Disability Services (ODS) is located within the Dean of Students Office, in room A211. As coordinator of the office, I will be your first point of contact for questions and concerns related to medical, psychological and learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD. I will be working with you to determine your eligibility for accommodations during your studies at the UM School of Law, and ensuring that those accommodations are implemented. Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you would like to seek accommodations for the fall semester.

For information on ODS policies and procedures, please take some time to review our website at www.law.miami.edu/disabilityservices . We hope that you will find the information helpful. My email contact is disabilityservices@law.miami.edu.

We are available to assist you with any questions you may have regarding the services we offer and hope that you will take a moment to contact us this summer so we may address any concerns you might have. If you would like to make an appointment to come in to the office, please contact (305) 284-4551 to schedule your visit.

Once again, welcome to the University of Miami School of Law!

Sincerely,

Iris Morera
Coordinator, Student Services

Recommended Attire
There is no dress code for Orientation. Comfortable shoes are strongly suggested because you will be doing a lot of walking. It likely will be hot outside and cool in the air conditioned rooms, so dress appropriately for the heat and a jacket or sweater for indoors.

Some students wear shorts, jeans, skirts or summer dress. Miami is typically casual though you want to remember that you are entering a professional school rather than heading to the beach.

The Dean's Dinner at the Biltmore Hotel is dressier - cocktail attire.
