Parking – Saturday 9/29/12

Parking Services has notified us that Lot 34 outside West Hall will still be available this Saturday, although it will not be sectioned off as it usually is on Game Days. Typically, one half of the lot is reserved for students/faculty and the other is for paying users attending the game. Due to the Akron Marathon and a home game taking place on the same day, they will not have enough cones to section of the lot this Saturday.

  • Lot 34 still available for parking this Saturday.
  • You will not have to pay to park if you have your valid parking permit displayed.
  • Explain to the lot attendant that you are here for school, not for the game.

Fall 2012 Exam Schedule

We are receiving many inquires about the Fall 2012 Exam Schedule and wanted to post an update for everyone.  We are currently in the process of preparing the Exam schedule.  As indicated in the Student Handbook on p. 33 “In order to determine conflict, the final examination schedule is published after the 14th day of classes.”  This is to allow us to pull the final 14th day class rosters for comparison.  It usually takes a couple weeks to complete this task and generate a schedule.  Therefore, Fall exam schedules are typically posted around the first of October.  Please continue to watch the Law School Announcements and your zip.uakron.edu emails for the release of the fall exam schedule.
