On Campus
Well, it's the start of the Spring semester and there have been a few changes. If you haven't noticed, parking lots have changed designations, so make sure you check the sign before parking. Ticketing will begin in the next few weeks. The new parking garage on UML East has opened up, but make sure you have your ID. It is open to all students and faculty and is first come first serve.
If you've found you have way too much free time on your hands, or if you're already ripping out your hair from too much homework, the last day to add or drop a course without a permission number is January 29th. February 5th is the last day to add/drop with the instructor's permission.
