Please make sure that you check your MyAkron account under “My Experience” before your registration to confirm your enrollment appointment and to make sure that you do not have any holds on your account. We are unable to release any holds that are placed by other departments (i.e. Student Financials, Parking, Graduate School, etc.), you will want to make sure that these are cleared up before you are eligible to register to prevent being locked out of any classes.

If you are a joint degree student and have not completed a Transfer of Graduate Credit form (located under Student Affairs/Forms) your credits will not be factored in to your law school credit totals and could effect your enrollment appointment. To determine if your joint degree credits have been successfully applied to your law school total, make sure that you run a Degree Progress Report (DPR) located in MyAkron under My Experience. All Transfer of Graduate Credits forms must be turned in to Student Affairs by Wednesday, October 30th at 5:00 p.m. to provide time for processing and enrollment appointment correction.
