March 15, 2000 -- Most hotels and motels in the Charlottesville-Albemarle area report no vacancies during the University of Virginia's Finals Weekend, May 19-21. To assist families of graduating students with accommodations, U.Va. is accepting housing reservations for residence hall suites May 19, 20 and 21. Reservations are being accepted on a first-come-first-served basis for about 144 suites.

At $20 per person, per night (plus tax), reservations may be made for up to three nights. The suites, located in the Alderman Road residence halls, can accommodate 8 -10 people. The non-air-conditioned suites include a living room and a common bath facility. Due to limited space, more than one family may share suites.

On Sunday, May 21, guests may use the free bus service to Final Exercises. Shuttles will run continuously starting at 7 a.m. and ending following diploma ceremonies.
