also can it be an electronic copy (official copy of course) or does it need to be a paper copy
Here's the school's guidance on the matter:

American Bar Association standards require that we receive a final, official copy of your undergraduate transcript showing receipt of your bachelor's degree. The copy of your transcript that you provided to LSAC in the application process is not sufficient to satisfy this requirement. Please request that your undergraduate institution send your final transcript directly to us as the address set forth below, no later than August 1, 2017:

At the risk of spamming this thread, I wanted to pass along a link to a spreadsheet I made that contains the schedules for all ten sections we'll be assigned to in August. This culls directly from the course schedules posted in LawWeb.

Hope this is useful come fall. It has been formatted for easy printing.

Rising 2L here. We actually found out about a week before classes started last year. Your class schedule will end up on SIS and you can deduce which section is yours based on that with the list of 1L profs above. I think the law school sent out a formal email about it a few days later.

Where are you all seeing the request to send a transcript directly to the school? The admissions status site?

Hey all! Anyone still in need of housing? Plans changed so I now have a 1BR in Arlington Court (right across from the law school) open. $790/month. PM me for details.

Any interest in doing a pre-orientation meet-up next week for those TLSers already in Charlottesville? First round is on me.

Rising 2L in the midst of OGI, but just wanted to say: do an event for the class to meet up. It was a great kick off to the school year for the current 2L class.

Hope everyone is pleased with their section assignments! Looks like we have a slightly larger class coming in, with 320 people on the list. Will be curious to see if our peer schools enroll larger classes as well.

Are grades posted in the "My Academics" section of SIS? Still unsure if I want to know or avoid knowing as much as possible but wanted to make sure I checked the right place if a dare to look now and again. :D

Grades are posted under the "Grades" drop down menu under the Academics Section on the home page of SIS. You have to select the term you want to view grades for though.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
