IMPORTANT INFORMATIONAlcohol PolicyIf UofL students at least 21 years of age decide to drink alcohol, the university explicitly counsels only low-risk use and condemns the misuse and abuse of alcohol. Tips and advice to avoid being scammedCollege students are a vulnerable population for scammers. There are scams that have been created specifically to target the college population. Scammers want you to make decisions in a hurry. Before you give up your money or personal information to anyone, slow down, check out the story, do an online search, consult an expert, or discuss it with a family member or friend. For additional information on how to
avoid being victimized by scams, go to the Student Handbook and read Scams, Advice, and Tips at College of Business Breezeway ClosureThe University has begun a construction project in the breezeway between the two structures of the College of Business. The breezeway is the area with the red paving bricks and connects the campus east to west. Everyone who uses the breezeway to enter and leave the campus will detour around the work site, which means around the building to the north or the south. There are paved paths on both the
north and south, and the distance is not much longer than using the breezeway. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, but this problem must be addressed as the damage accumulating from the leak makes it imperative to fix it as soon as possible.
