As a student at Caruso Law, you will find that there are a number of essential, critical, and/or otherwise consequential messages that are sent to your Pepperdine student email account by members of the Caruso Law administration team over the course of the school year.
Also note that your Pepperdine email will also often contain links to shared files in Google Drive and/or Google Forms that leverage your Pepperdine Google email account security. This means that if you are using a system other than Pepperdine’s Google email, you will be unable to access those files, folders, and forms. To make it easy on yourself, we strongly recommend that you use either the Gmail app on your mobile device or the Google Chrome browser to access your Pepperdine email.
To ensure that you don’t miss these important messages, you may want to highlight them in some way. One easy way to do this is by using an email filter.
To create an effective filter you will create a “rule” in your Pepperdine Google Mail inbox using either the sender’s email address and/or significant terms to have Google Mail tag or sort or file the relevant messages for you. Your rule can automatically apply a “star” to the message in your message list and/or add it to a folder using “labels.”
When you create your rule(s) you will need to have some specific terms and/or email addresses that Google Mail will look for.
An important address that you’ll want to use is the one that the Dean’s Suite uses: lawdeansuite@pepperdine.edu
Also you will want to watch for: ExamSoft and Examplify because these terms will inevitably be related to critical messages associated with mid term and final exams.
Go to this site for information on how to create your filter(s) to ensure you don’t miss important information sent to you via your Pepperdine email account.
Viruses, worms, ad-ware and spyware, and theft, are examples of SEVERE risks to your computer in a public, networked environment. You MUST PERFORM THE STEPS LISTED BELOW if you wish to use your computer at Pepperdine or you could face repercussions including loss of network access, data loss, and system failure.
The Harnish Law Library maintains two copiers that will print in either color or black and white. This service is for Pepperdine users only.
Price per color impression is $0.35. This means if you print a color document that is duplexed (printed on both sides) you will be charged $0.70 for that piece of paper (if there’s color on both sides).
Note that if you choose to print a document that has some pages that are black and white and some that contain color, each black and white page will be charged at $0.06/impression (side of a page of paper) and the color impressions (sides of a page) will be charged at $0.35 each. Yep, it’s a kinda smart system.
To access this color copier using your laptop or other device please go to THIS PAGE for detailed instructions.
Shared Account Users: For instructions on how to print documents from a personal computer using a shared account, please review this guide.
Information on School of Law provided print credit to School of Law students is HERE.
*Students at Caruso Law start each term with a print credit.
Pepperdine University has multi-function devices (MFDs) from Sharp (you can still call them copiers but they’re much more). You will find two such MFDs in the public area of the Harnish Law Library at Caruso Law. Additionally, there is another MFD in the Career Development Office.
Students, Faculty, and Staff can print, scan, or copy on the MFDs using an account associated with their Pepperdine ID cards. Students buy copy and print credit here: https://get.cbord.com/pepperdine/full/prelogin.php
All enrolled students can print to all Sharp MFDs in public areas at any of the Pepperdine Southern California campuses (click here to learn about print credit for students enrolled at Caruso Law). Printing in color or black and white is possible and a document with a mix of color and black and white pages will only incur the higher cost for color on the pages where there is color.
Typically, print jobs are sent via the web using a web-browser interface. In nearly all circumstances, your document that you want to print must be in PDF format.
You transfer/upload your PDF file to the print.pepperdine.edu site and select your parameters (number of copies, etc.). If you want to print in color, you want to select a “findmecolor” solution (see more information here) or “findmebw” for black and white.
Then once the document is uploaded, you go to the copier nearest you — Caruso Law? go to Harnish Law Library and see the copiers not too far from the Public Services Desk.
“Tap” your ID card or type in your Wavenet credentials (there’s a slide-out keyboard stored under the copier’s screen), select the print job you want to “release” and you have your document!
You may have heard of an LMS or learning management system. An LMS is an online service that hosts your course syllabus, other documents, class discussions, and more.
Caruso Law (and Pepperdine in general) use an LMS that Pepperdine calls “Courses by Sakai” or simply “Courses.”
Courses is the “go to” place for all things associated with your classes including Zoom links for your online classes, syllabi, recordings of classes and more.
To familiarize yourself with courses, the University IT group has developed some great resources here: https://community.pepperdine.edu/techlearn/tools/courses/student/

Hurray! You’ve graduated (or will soon graduate) from Pepperdine Caruso School of Law! The last thing on your mind is your Pepperdine Email account, but there are some things you need to know…
NOTE: Pepperdine offers a special Alumni-only email service provided by Google.
You will want to use a personal email address going forward. We recommend that you use something professional, perhaps you already have such a personal email address. If you don’t, we recommend creating an email account on Google’s Gmail service.
If you plan to migrate your email from your Pepperdine Google email account to a personal gmail account you will want to ensure that you have a personal gmail account set up first. Then review these instructions all the way to the end before moving forward with the migration.
Part of this process should include your migration of the data from your Pepperdine Google Drive to your personal drive space. If you are migrating to another Google account, keep in mind that you may run into space limits on your targeted storage system.
