We know the weeks leading up to exams and the two-week period during finals can be stressful.  So, your Student Bar Association and Student Life Office have teamed up to provide complimentary massages in the Washer Lounge on the following three days:

MONDAY, Dec. 3:  10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

THURSDAY, Dec. 6:  10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

TUESDAY, Dec. 11:  4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Two massage therapists will be available each day.  You may sign up for an appointment in advance, but walk-ins are perfectly fine too.  Enjoy a massage before an exam, after an exam, or just take a quick break from studying while at the law school.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS!

If you need to request a make-up exam, you must complete a "Request for a Make-Up Exam" form and submit it to Ms. Barbara Thompson in Student Records by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 29.  Forms are available in the Student Life hallway, and are also available on the law school website at http://www.law.louisville.edu/academics/exams.

A student has an exam conflict and is entitled to a make-up exam in two instances:

1. a student has two exams scheduled to begin within 12 hours of one another; OR
   
2. a student has an exam at 6:00 p.m. or later on one day and another exam at 9:00 a.m. the following day. 

In all cases, students must obtain prior approval to take a make-up exam.

As final exams approach, all students should take a moment to re-review the rules pertaining to exams.  A memorandum regarding exam policies is available on the Law School website at http://www.law.louisville.edu/academics/exams.  Information regarding exam conflicts, make-up exams, taking exams on computer, and exam reviews is also available.  Please review all the information posted.  If you have questions, please see Dean Ballard or Dean Hall.

Any student who did not comply with the practice test requirements is not permitted to use Exam4 for any exam for which the applicable practice test was required. By taking any exam using Exam4, a student certifies that he/she has complied with applicable practice test requirements and has received notice from the law school IT Department that he/she has complied with applicable practice test requirements. See Student Handbook for questions pertaining to taking exams on computer.
