Hello Transfers and Visiting Students!
This message is a friendly reminder about important deadlines, administrative matters, and
resources. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid:
law.admit@bc.edu or 617-552-4351.
The first day of classes is Monday, August 24. See attached letter from Assistant Dean
Elizabeth Rosselot for more information regarding the course selection process and registering
for classes.
Community Photo Directory Each year, the Law School compiles a book of photos of all
faculty, staff, and new students—known as the Community Photo Directory. It is distributed
only at the Law School. It will help you get to know your classmates and acquaint you with
faculty and staff at BC Law. (Please note: this photo project is not in any way associated
with your required Agora/Boston College ID photo.) To expedite the printing of the
Directory, we are asking all new students (first-year, transfer, LL.M and visiting) to send a photo
via e-mail attachment. The photo should be a “head and shoulders” shot in JPG format
(resolution of 300 dpi or greater). The photo file name should be your last name and the initial
of your first name (e.g. smithj.jpg). Please send it by Friday, August 7, 2015 to Nate Kenyon
at kenyonn@bc.edu. Type Transfer, LL.M. or Visitor photo on the subject line and include
your full name in the body of the message.
