ANNOUNCEMENTS
UA students enrolled during Spring Semester 2011 who wish to purchase tickets to away football games must place their names on a waiting list by 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 28. Tickets will be allocated to students on the waiting list based on UA credit hours earned. Requesting a ticket does not guarantee a purchase. Requests will be sorted by UA earned credit hour (highest to lowest) and filled until the student inventory for each game is exhausted. This is not a first-come, first-served ticket sale. Students will go to http://www.rolltide.com and log in to the Athletics Ticket Office’s Paciolan system to request tickets. On July 29, an email will be sent to students notifying them of the UA earned credit hour cutoff for each game, and the information will be posted on http://www.rolltide.com and in Coleman Coliseum at the Athletics Ticket Office. Payment for tickets will take place Aug. 1 at 8 a.m. through Aug. 4 at 5 p.m. On those dates, students may log in to their Athletics Ticket Office’s Paciolan account through http://www.rolltide.com, view the online application and submit credit card information for payment or pay at the Ticket Office window in Coleman Coliseum. The Athletics Ticket Office will send more information and details to students’ official UA Crimson email accounts. More information: UA Ticket Office, 348-6113.
Construction of sewer lines will affect traffic in the area of Wallace Wade Avenue and Sixth Street Aug. 1-15.

Please adjust your travel plans accordingly.
