PTYS Academic Office
The LPL Main and Academic Offices are where to go when you’re not sure where to find something at LPL, or whom to ask.
In addition to academic affairs, we can help you with directory updates, directions for accessing and using the LPL Activity & Resource Scheduler (LARS) for room, equipment, and reservations scheduling, photocopying, shipping and mail services, and more.
We’re located in and around room 325 in the Kuiper Space Sciences Building.
