It's what you need to know!
I wanted to provide you with my hours of availability for the Fall 2016 semester. Please feel free to stop in during any of my Open Office Hours or schedule an appointment. I am also available to meet at Central Hower if you wish. For appointments email me at misty@uakron.edu.
Our next free Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE) clinic is Saturday, September 10, 2016! We’re very excited to be providing opportunities for ex-offenders in Summit County to take a step toward gaining employment and independence!
We are looking for students to volunteer from 8:00am-12:45pm on Saturday, September 10, 2016. The clinic will be held at the Akron Alliance Fellowship Church [688 Diagonal Rd, Akron, OH 44320]. The time you volunteer can be applied toward your graduation requirement as pro bono limited means hours.
There will be a mandatory volunteer training on Friday, September 9, 2016 from 4:30-6:00pm for first timers. The time you are at training will count towards your pro bono limited means hours as well. For those who have completed the training once before, you are more than welcome to attend the training for a refresher. However, you may not count the training towards your pro bono limited means hours again.
If you’re interested in volunteering or have any questions, please e-mail Brittany at bfw7@zips.uakron.edu. You can also learn more about the clinic at our website: http://www.uakron.edu/law/clinical/cqe-clinic.dot.
YOU MUST RSVP IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE CLINIC!!!

Refunds
If you withdraw from class(es), you may receive a partial refund. Partial refunds are determined by the date of class withdrawal. If you drop a class on a class day, it is considered a completed day for the purposes of the refund calculation.
Important Note: Days are measured in actual days, NOT business day. All refund calculations are determined by class length percentage, not by class meetings attended or class meetings percentage. Class length is defined as the number of days between and including the first day of classes and the last instructional day of any given term/session (including weekend days and holidays). Short classes are prorated based on class length and time before withdrawal. It may be necessary for you to drop the class before the class start date in order to receive a full refund.
If you have questions regarding your refunds please contact:

This is simply an opportunity for incoming 1L’s to meet current students, for mentees to meet their mentors, and to get to know everyone in an informal setting. All current students are welcome to attend as well. Baxter’s has food and a full-service bar. Students are encouraged to attend for a laid-back evening to wrap-up orientation week and kick off the school year.
