  • How to not miss important email messages!

    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: [email protected]

    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.

    An important address that you’ll want to watch for is the one that the Dean’s Suite uses: [email protected]
    Other terms you will want to watch for are: 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.

  • Security: Protect Your Laptop and Yourself!

    sophosbadgeViruses, 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.

    1. Maintain up-to-date virus protection software on your computer. The University’s IT department supports Sophos for faculty and staff. For students, University IT recommends Microsoft Defender (no cost) for Windows and Sophos AntiVirus for Macs (home version, no cost).
    2. Regularly install all Critical Updates from http://update.microsoft.com. You should begin checking Microsoft Update constantly, starting now. You can also configure your Windows computer to check automatically for updates every time you connect to the Internet.
    3. Keep your browser up to date! A great browser-based tool for checking how current your web-related tools are is Qualys Browser Check.
    4. Keep your computer’s operating system and office products up-to-date
    5. Do not install peer-to-peer file-sharing software or other high-risk programs. Attempt to eliminate any programs that might already be installed by running a spyware/adware removal product such as Spybot Search & Destroy or Ad-aware.
    6. Buy and use a computer security cable for your computer to lock it down when it is not attended. (Alarm-equipped cables are NOT recommended.) We highly recommend that you NEVER leave your belongings alone, especially in quiet areas like the Law Library, as the School of Law is open to the public. Kensington has a website that will help you find a security cable that was made for your laptop. Note that there are currently at least three different kinds of security cable ports on laptops today so you’ll want to pay attention and select the one that fits your laptop. (Pepperdine Caruso Law does not endorse or recommend Kensington locking cables to the exclusion of other  similar solutions, however we have had very positive experience with Kensington security cables for over two decades and find that their products are reliable).
    7. Do not click on links in unsolicited email messages.
    8. Do not open an email attachment unless you are expecting it or have checked with the sender.

  • Microsoft Office Suite – Office 365 is FREE to Students

    The Microsoft Office suite is a family of software that delivers almost any tool imaginable to assist users at home and in business. Here, Pepperdine Caruso Law IT helps break down the different applications available.

    NOTE: We always recommend that you INSTALL and USE the local copy of MS Word (actually install it on your computer’s hard drive) rather than use the online version (accessed through your web-browser) when working on law school projects or pleadings for court. The features you need for law-specific document creation are not all available to you in the online version of Word.

    Students and Faculty can purchase this software at a significant discount through Microsoft’s education store; Office 365 is even available for free.

    Click the link below to view the Pepperdine IT Student Discount page: http://community.pepperdine.edu/it/students/newstudents/student-discount.htm

  • Color Printing and Copies the Harnish Law Library

    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.

    To do a quick color (or B&W) print job:

    1. Make sure your document is in PDF format
    2. Make sure you have money on your ID Card (to add or to check go here) — If you don’t have funds on your account (separate from the law school printing account) you can’t print anything.

    7. Select your number of copies (that’s your only option on this page – at this point this service does not support duplexing, or stapling)
    8. Upload your file — or drag it to the designated area on the screen.
    9. You will need to go to the copier to Release the job
    10. At the copier, login using your Wavenet credentials
    11. Select your print job from the list and release it

  • Print and Copy Services at Caruso Law

    To send a print job start here: print.pepperdine.edu

    To setup your printing go here for complete instructions.

    Color Printing is $0.35 per side of a page 

    Black and White Printing is $0.06 per side of a page

    Print accounting and print charges are managed by the University.  

    Charges go to your Pepperdine ID card’s linked Waves Cash Global account.

    You cannot print if you do not have funds on deposit in your Waves Cash Global account.*

    *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!

  • Pepperdine’s Courses – The online course management system at Caruso Law

    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/

  • Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

    2. Graduation and Email

      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…

      • The following information applies to all students graduating from any program at Pepperdine: Student email accounts, WaveNet, and other network-related resources are governed by university policy and managed by the university IT department. Student email accounts, WaveNet access, printing, Zoom, etc. will be deactivated 90 days after the date of the commencement ceremony. 
      • Recent graduates will receive automated notifications in their student email inboxes 90, 60 and 30 days before account deactivation.  
      • After graduation a process starts that begins with your status changing from student to alumnus.  This process involves a file transfer that takes place sometimes several days (up to four weeks) after graduation.  Sure, you have the diploma but the system doesn’t recognize you as an alumnus until that file is transferred from the student system to the alumni system. Typically this takes place about a month after the date of your graduation.  That’s when all the automated stuff starts up.
      • On the fifteenth day of the month immediately after your graduation date you will get an email to your student email account.  This is a reminder message to encourage you to move out of your student email account and other Google-based services hosted for you by Pepperdine.
      • Note again, that student email accounts and related services (Google Drive, Calendar, etc.) are disabled 90 days after the student’s commencement date (the day of the graduation ceremony).
      • Once an account is deactivated the data/emails in that account it is not recoverable.

      NOTE: Pepperdine offers a special Alumni-only email service provided by Google.

      email

      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.

      Resources from Pepperdine’s IT department on this topic:

      Account Changes When Transitioning from Student to Alumni Status
      https://community.pepperdine.edu/it/alumni/
      Transfer or Download Your Google Workspace Data(for new graduates)https://community.pepperdine.edu/it/alumni/email/datatransfer.htm

      Alumni Email
      https://community.pepperdine.edu/it/alumni/email/

      After your student email address expires, no mail will be received at your student address. To make a smooth transition, we recommend:

      1. Set up your new personal (and professional) email address immediately when you get that email noted above.
      2. Forward your mail in Wavenet to a new email address — that new personal gmail address or another one you prefer. (Note that forwarding will only work up until your student email account is suspended.)
      3. Set up an out-of-office message in your Pepperdine Student Email (accessed through Wavenet) account informing all your contacts of your graduation and of your new email address. Log into Wavenet click on Options, and then update your Out of Office Assistant.

    5. Caruso Law School Computer/Technology Recommendations

      If you are just starting out at Caruso Law, or heading back to school and looking to upgrade your system, please review the below information before purchasing your new laptop!

      Nearly all Pepperdine Caruso Law Students use laptops for class, exams, and homework. While laptops are not required, they can be a very valuable tool in law school.  The following recommendations take into account services and applications that are often used in conjunction with Caruso Law classes and other curricular and extra curricular activities.

      The Information Services team at Caruso Law provides assistance in configuring your laptop for the network. Please think very carefully before choosing a laptop brand or other hardware/software choice outside the recommended list, as you may be limiting your potential sources of support.

      As a law student your laptop computer is a key tool.  Please keep this in mind as you think about how you will use it, the software you install on it, the websites you visit with it, the files/attachments you choose to download and where you store it when you are not using it.  You will want it to be functioning at optimum levels.  Theft, drops, malware, and other untoward variables will detract from your laptop’s ability to help you succeed in law school.

      Below are the minimum Computer/Technology Recommendations:

      • Internet: Strongly recommend a rock solid internet connection with a minimum 20 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up.  This exceeds the minimum requirements for synchronous Zoom sessions (the absolute minimum is 600 kbps in both directions while recommended minimum is 1.5 mbps) but note that if you share your internet connection you will need more bandwidth to ensure a reliable, continuous connection.  Also please note that the age of your hardware (router, modem, cabling, computer) will play a significant role in reliability.
      • Manufacturer/Model: Dell Latitude Series/Apple MacBook Pro or MacBook Air
          • NOTE: We strongly discourage the use of Microsoft Surface computers.  Microsoft Surface systems may provide some challenges with ExamSoft software, this software is used by most students to take exams at Caruso Law and is used by the California Board of Bar Examiners for the state bar exam … along with most other state jurisdictions. 
      • Display: Minimum 11” screen – for improved readability, consider 13” or larger
      • Operating System: Windows 10 /Mac OS 11 or better
      • Processor: Intel i5 processor, Apple M1 processor, or greater (Make sure your system is compatible with ExamSoft)
      • RAM: 12GB – 16GB is recommended
      • Solid State Drive (SSD): 120GB or higher
      • Integrated WiFi or WiFi adapter: Newer is often if not always better
      • Media Drives: None necessary, but it’s always good to have a few flash drives handy. Keep in mind that these don’t last forever, don’t rely upon one flash drive to keep your work safe. AND have a backup solution.  LESS DOWN TIME
      • Battery Life: 4-6 hours, much longer is much better.  MORE UP TIME.
      • Spare Laptop Charger: If you plan to bring your laptop with you, keep one for home and one for travel.  If you lose one you have a spare.  NO DOWN TIME.
      • Warranty: 3 year parts/on-site labor. LESS DOWN TIME.
      • Security Lock/Cable: Don’t ever walk away from your laptop if it isn’t secured.  LESS DOWN TIME
      • Malware Protection Software: Make sure you have Anti-Malware installed.  Use the firewall that is build into your computer’s operating system.  MORE UP TIME.
      • Personal Printer: We strongly recommend HP Laser Printers with an extra toner cartridge.  NO DOWN TIME.
      • BACKUP System: There are two ways to do this, traditional backups where a copy of all your files (or just critical files) is made to another storage device either over the web or to an external drive of some kind OR storing your files in the “cloud” to start with where they are backed up by that service provider (think Apple iCloud or Google Drive).  We strongly and urgently recommend a reliable automated backup system AND synchronizing your law school materials on a cloud-based service like Google Drive or iCloud. LESS DOWNTIME

      Please visit the Minimum System Requirements page for the ExamSoft/Examplify system requirements to ensure that your system is compliant.

      The Dell Latitude series is designed for a professional enterprise user and is not what you will find in a consumer-focused retail store.  We have found these systems to be very reliable and strongly recommend them to both students and faculty for their personal computing needs.  This recommendation is not meant to dissuade you from other manufacturers or even other lines of Dell computers, however, we know this line to be a great fit for a law student who needs a solid, reliable system for three years of challenging work (plus the Bar exam).

      NO TABLETS, NO NETBOOKS: We do not recommend tablet-based systems. Nor do we recommend netbooks or Chromebooks.  You are certainly welcome to buy them but we don’t believe they will meet your needs in law school.  In fact, these systems do not work with ExamSoft Examplify at all so that should be a compelling reason to avoid the Chromebook/tablet acquisition unless you already have a serviceable laptop that meets the ExamSoft minimum requirements. Essentially, you can bring any device you want to law school. However, if you want to take exams and keep pace with the challenges of law school, you should purchase a high-quality, business class laptop, not a cheap, or off-brand version found on sale at a big box retailer. Remember, you want a system that is reliable and will last you through completing the BAR EXAM. You don’t want a machine that may crash in the middle of an exam!

      MacBook ProThe Pepperdine University Computer Store (an online referral site) offers generous discounts to Pepperdine University students on software (MS Office is no cost to Pepperdine students and employees) and hardware. These discounts are often more than the typical education discounts that you will find online. The Computer Store can be accessed 24/7 online.

      For purchasing as an enrolled Pepperdine student, please visit the Pepperdine University IT Department’s discounts for students web page or call Pepperdine University Tech Central at (310) 506-4811.

      Please note that using a computer on the University network requires that you agree to the University Computer and Network Usage policy.

      Print Shop Binding Services for Appellate Brief Assignment

      The University Printing Services department provides Appellate Brief printing and binding services that can be utilized for preparing your appellate brief. The average cost for this service is just over $5 but it’s important to keep in mind that you MUST PAY Printing Services using Waves Cash Global. This method of payment is tied to your Pepperdine Student ID card. You can also use Waves Cash Global funds for the Cafeterias at the Pepperdine Malibu Campus.

      The print shop accepts PDF submissions for printing and binding appellate briefs. Briefs can be printed and picked up at either the Malibu or Calabasas print shop locations, and customers should specify which shop they prefer to use when placing an order. The latest recommended date for submission to the print shop is March 2nd.

      NOTE that funds allocated to you by Caruso School of Law for copying and printing using the University-provided copiers WILL NOT apply to purchases at the Cafeteria or at University Printing Services. Those funds are restricted and can only be used on the University-provide Sharp copiers.

      To add funds to your Waves Cash Global account

      Contact University Printing Services

      Please consult the Lawguides page for general tips and troubleshooting, and if you still require assistance please feel free to email or call CSOL information services.

    7. Removing Metadata from Word Documents

      Looking to remove metadata from your word documents? Have an assignment that requires that? There are a number of resources available to you through the Harnish Law Library’s Research Guides. If you are working on an appellate brief there’s a page for that.

    8. “You cannot view this recording”

      Using your Pepperdine email to create a personal Zoom account on zoom.com will cause issues with watching class recordings.

      You may have used your Pepperdine email for a personal account without knowing, or by mistake. If so, there is a simple fix: We need to let Zoom transfer your account.

      To do this, clear your browser’s cache. Then, log into zoom.pepperdine.us using the Sign in button.

      This should fix it, but If you continue to have problems someone from our team can help you at the library service desk between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.

    9. How to Find your Exam ID number in WaveNet

      During your time at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, it is vital to your grade that you know where to find your Exam ID number. To find it, just follow the three steps below:

      First, go into WaveNet and log in using your username and password. Then, select “Academics” on the left navigation bar.

      Available to law students only is the “Exam Number/Class Rank” link in the center of the screen. Click the Exam Number/Class Rank link.

      Once you select it, it will open a smaller window displaying all relevant information. Simply find your semester and which type of Exam you are taking! Instead of the red XXXX you will see your 4-digit exam number. Please note that the 4-digits change every midterm and final exam.

      Best wishes on your exams!
