Owning a laptop is now mandatory. It is highly advised that you purchase a new laptop for your time at the law school. A one-time $2,000 computer allowance loan can be added to the total cost of attendance so that a new laptop can be obtained through your financial aid package. Please get in touch with the Financial Aid Office for information about the computer allowance loan. A new well maintained quality laptop should last you through the Bar Exam.

Q:  Does it have to be through the school?

A:  Laptops can be purchased anywhere. The advantage to purchasing at DU is that, in the unlikely event that a repair is needed, the computer store can perform repairs on site, often providing loaner laptops if necessary. 

Additionally:

  • The warranties carry no deductible
  • Units are competitively priced, with Dell laptops offered as Business class machines
  • Dell has typically had a back-to-school rebate 
  • Apple sometimes has a back-to-school promotion
  • Questions? Email LawIT@duq.edu 
Send your final transcripts to  after graduation. The transcript must indicate "degree conferred" and the date conferred.
Update your mailing address and email address with the Law Office of Admissions.
