After further consideration, The University of Alabama has decided to publish the Corolla for 2014-15. Using a traditional format with tech-savvy innovations, the Corolla’s content will focus on preserving the broader Alabama experience and offer students an opportunity to be in the book in ways that capture their own individual experiences on campus during the year. The yearbook will be offered to students, employees, alumni and parents. Everyone will be able to submit photos to be considered for inclusion. The Corolla will be distributed in July 2015 and will include events from Fall Semester 2014 through Spring Semester 2015. Additional information about how to submit photos and order the yearbook will be provided in the coming weeks and can be found at http://www.alabamayearbooks.com.
Students can upload photographs for consideration in the upcoming Corolla by using the ReplayIt application. Students can download ReplayIt to their mobile phones (http://www.alabamayearbooks.com) or desktop (http://www.replayit.com/r/). Under Find Your School, choose The University of Alabama to get started.
Between now and May 11, students will receive suggested themes for their photographs through social media and UA Student News. Upcoming themes: you from your favorite athletic events; favorite selfies; and you receiving honors during Honors Week.

For the purposes of this survey, “retail dining” refers to Bama Dining locations that accept only Dining Dollars, cash, or credit, and not locations that accept meal swipes for unlimited meals.
