Southwest Flights now thru Jan 5 2014

<p>Southwest just opened their reservation window through Jan 5th, 2014 today.
There are some deals (relative) to be had for the eager holiday travelers.</p>

<p>To help you, here is the link to the Fall 2013 Exam Schedule: [Fall</a> 2013 Exam Schedule | The Office of the University Registrar - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/final-exam-schedules/fall-2013-exam-schedule/]Fall”>http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/final-exam-schedules/fall-2013-exam-schedule/)</p>

<p>And here is a link to the Spring 2014 Academic Calendar: [Spring</a> 2014 Academic Calendar | The Office of the University Registrar - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/academic-calendars/spring-2014-academic-calendar/#tab=tab-1]Spring”>http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/academic-calendars/spring-2014-academic-calendar/#tab=tab-1)
Courses start up again on Wednesday, January 8th.</p>

<p>Here is the link to the shuttle service provided by UA Housing, but it is never up to date, so the link will work, but just not be relevant to holiday travel yet: [Student</a> Affairs | Housing & Residential Communities](<a href=“http://housing.ua.edu/on_campus/shuttle.cfm]Student”>http://housing.ua.edu/on_campus/shuttle.cfm) </p>

<p>Like many students, my son is not coming home for Thanksgiving (since classes end Dec 6, so that trip would be pointless): [Fall</a> 2013 Academic Calendar | The Office of the University Registrar - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/academic-calendars/fall-2013-academic-calendar/#tab=tab-1]Fall”>http://registrar.ua.edu/academics/academic-calendars/fall-2013-academic-calendar/#tab=tab-1)</p>

<p>So Dec 13 late aft will be safe? I’m thinking it would be easier to move earlier in the week if some exams aren’t needed. S only needed to take 3 exams this semester.</p>

<p>I copy/paste the exam schedule into a separate document, then go back and highlight the classes S takes, so I can figure out the exact exam schedule. (If I try to write it down myself, I always get confused.) Friday pm late would be very ‘safe’ to book flights. Students can also petition if they have 3 or more finals in a day, which my S will need to do this semester.<br>
Now, we all need to pester UA Housing to put up the bus/shuttle schedules for Fall Break and for Winter Break!</p>

<p>Wow! I thought I was organized. Thanks!</p>
