Roo to-do list
Wecome to Akron! We look forward to having you our community. Here are some tasks to complete so that your orientation day and your first days on campus are easy.
1. Verify the date of your New Roo Orientation Day
You should have received a confirmation email to all registered email accounts (your UA email included) with your scheduled date. If you did not receive this email and have paid the confirmation fee, please contact us via email or by phone at 330-972-2622. If there is a conflict with the date you received and need to reschedule, please contact us through the same methods as well.
2. Verify your major
Ensure the major listed in your confirmation email is correct. An incorrect major could impact your scheduled date. If it is incorrect, please fill out the change of major form and we will communicate any changes to your program if they occur.
3. Complete placement testing
Did you receive information about completing a placement test? Please visit the placement testing page for more information and to answer your questions.
4. Log in to your My Akron account
Ensure you are able to log into your My Akron account for computer related tasks. Please contact the IT Help Desk if you need assistance.

Your bill is due in early August. Make sure you log onto My Akron to pay it by the due date.
