Photo sessions of graduating candidate students for the 2015 Class Composite will be taken in room 166 of the Law School on:

Sign up for a time slot of your choice no later than Monday, November 10th. Please stop by the Dean’s Office front desk to sign up. Photo sessions are scheduled in 5-minute intervals. We hope every member of the class will be pictured in the composite!

There is no cost for participating in this class composite and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. You will be required to choose one proof for the Class Composite. I will provide you with a digital copy of all the proofs and instructions will be given to notify me of your chosen proof number for the composite photo. A full-size digital file of the proof you choose will be yours to keep. If you wish to order a copy of the Class Composite, you may bring a check made payable to The University of Akron in the amount of $30 at the time of your sitting, or you may order a copy of the Class Composite at a later date through my office.

  • It is required that you wear a dark (Navy, Black, Dark Grey, Dark Brown) suit for a professional appearance and a coordinated look for your Class Composite Photo.

Urgent – Complete Spring Registration to Avoid Possible Class Cancellations

The University administration is closely scrutinizing all classes and may require us to cancel those with law enrollments (generally, fewer than 10 students).  In order to avoid unnecessary cancellations and to assure that you are able to take the classes you need, we urge you to complete registration by the end of Thanksgiving weekend.  If you have any questions about what courses you should take, please contact Associate Dean Jordan or Student Services Director Banks.
