Academic Achievement Program (AAP)
This program is offered by the College of Law to support those students who need some assistance in adjusting to the academic demands of law school. Students are tutored on a regular basis by second, third, or fourth year law students who have demonstrated academic excellence and the ability to teach others. Participation in the program is determined by academic need and the availability of space.
Bookstore
The University of Denver bookstore is located in Driscoll South and operates during these hours: Monday-Thursday: 8:30 am – 6:00 pm; Friday: 8:30 am – 5:00 pm; Saturdays: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm; Closed Sundays.
The Bookstore provides an extensive supply of law reference books, exam practice books, audio tapes, flashcards and laminated study charges.

Community Events Calendar
There are many community events that active Coloradans participate in. CAP makes it easy to locate what is going on in our community through the online Community Events Calendar at www.du.edu/cap/community.html.
Internet
All students enrolled at the College of Law are assigned an account. Students are expected to use these accounts. The use of the Internet is not only more environmentally sound but provides a quick and efficient means for communicating with administrators, staff and faculty in the law school. Accounts are used as a means for communicating official information to students; thus students should check their accounts on a daily basis. The Department of Computing Services at the College of Law will assist students in obtaining an address.
Parking Services
There are two types of parking lots on campus, lots that require permits and metered visitor lots. Students with a vehicle on campus must register the vehicle with Parking Services and, to help ensure parking accessibility, are strongly recommended to purchase a University parking permit (General or Restricted). Parking on residential streets is restricted to residents living in the neighborhood, and are strictly monitored by City of Denver Parking Enforcement.
How to apply for a parking permit:
Permits for Commuter Students are sold via a secure web site. The web address is: www.parking.du.edu.
- Review the information needed to select and purchase a permit, including prices, which is under the “Permits” tab located on the top navigation bar. If you desire a Restricted parking permit, please make note of the appropriate deadlines for your customer group (for purchasing Restricted permits only) on the parking website to purchase your permit.
General and Night/Weekend permits can be purchased at anytime through-out the school year via webPark, accessed through the parking website. Restricted permits are allocated through a lottery early in the summer; if there is capacity, further permits are made available for purchase through a wait-list process during the school year.
Law students typically purchase parking permits for Lot L, Lot L3, which is the top level of Lot L, or Lot W. The prices for these three permits are found on-line. - Select the “webPark Login” tab located on the top left side of the parking web page. You will be directed to an Account Login screen.
- Enter your DU ID number and password. Your password is the same password used to access myWeb.
Students missing the deadlines for Restricted (gated) lots may still purchase other types of permits (Generals & Night/Weekends) on our web page at any time and sign up on the waitlist for Restricted permits as they become available throughout the school year. The only way to purchase any parking permit is via webPark on our home page. Don’t delay, apply on-line now!
IMPORTANT
Due to the high demand for parking spaces at the University of Denver, parking lots must be monitored seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to ensure availability for permit holders. All vehicles parked in a restricted or general parking lot must display a valid DU parking permit. Permits are not valid in specifically reserved spaces. Any vehicle not displaying a proper permit will be ticketed. Initial parking fines range from $15 to $100. Unpaid tickets will result in a hold on a student’s registration and may result in the vehicle being towed. Unregistered vehicles are subject to the same rules and regulations as registered vehicles.
- Lot Information
- General Lots
These lots are available on a first-come, first-served basis for those individuals displaying a valid University parking permit. General lots are identified by gold signage at the lot entrance and by a 100 series number. Restricted permits and General permits are valid in General lots at all times. A Night/Weekend – Basic permit is valid in all General parking lots from 4pm to 7 am, Monday through Friday, and all times on weekends. Several Restricted lots (including Lots F, H1, K, O, and W) become General lots from 4pm to 7 am, Monday through Friday and all times on weekends. General – Basic permits and Night/Weekend – Basic permits are sold through-out the year by visiting our secure web page at www.parking.du.edu.
- Restricted Lots
These lots are gated and controlled by card access. The gates are down, depending on the lot, either 24/7 or only during the hours of 4am to 4pm. A Restricted lot permit is valid only at one corresponding Restricted lot and any General lot. A University ID card is used to gain entry into these lots. Only a limited number of permits are sold for each of these lots. We control the amount of permits sold into these lots to help ensure that a parking space is available when permit holder desires to park. We do our best to ensure there is always a place to park, however, at the highest demand times, it is not guaranteed.
Parking permit prices are available on-line at www.parking.du.edu.
