Happy New Year!
The beginning of the fall semester always feels like the turning of the year to instructors, Distance Learning Center staff, and perhaps to students. It’s a time when there’s a lot of anticipation of the new activities to come. I hope you’re now enrolled in the courses you need to move forward toward your degree, and that you’re looking forward to beginning your academic work.
Remember to connect with your instructor during the first week of classes, through Learn@UW-Superior or e-mail, to confirm your participation in the class. It’s important to make that connection.
I’m happy to announce that our enrollments have once again increased over our numbers of a year ago. Thank you for letting others know about our program.
Credit Card Payment Returns
Possibly the best news of the new term is that the university will once again be able to accept tuition and fee payments using a credit card. Watch the Bursar’s Office website at https://mail.uwsuper.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.uwsuper.edu/bursar or your E-Hive for details.
Notes for New Students
Some things you’ll want to do as your start your academic career:
· Make sure you’ve filed the Overpayment Authorization Form for processing of your financial aid. The form is available at https://mail.uwsuper.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.uwsuper.edu/bursar/pdf/Overpayment%2520Authorization%2520Form2.pdf
· Visit your online courses as soon as possible at https://mail.uwsuper.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://uwsuper.courses.wisconsin.edu. Click on the + sign to expand your course list.
· Stop by the Cyber Café Rest Area to meet Melissa Crow, our peer mentor, and say hello to your fellow students
…and for Continuing Students
For those of you planning to graduate this term:
· Individually Designed Majors need to be approved…make sure yours is complete…contact your advisor ASAP if it’s still in process.
· Make sure your Application for Graduation is filed by October 15th – it’s now done through the E-Hive – and your $35 graduation fee paid.
E-Hive Help
If you have any problems with E-Hive, remember, you have a help link in the E-Hive log-in page, called “Student E-Hive Help” (look in the box titled “Technology Help” for the link). This great resource can answer pretty much any question you have about E-Hive.
Relax a Bit
As we start the holiday that traditionally ends the summer, I hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Deb and I spent last weekend canoeing and camping with friends on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage near Mercer. Here’s a photo to remind you what a great place Northern Wisconsin is to live and enjoy.

Welcome to New Advisors
Please welcome Jim Shelquist and Johanna Garrison to the Distance Learning Center staff. Jim will serve as Outreach Specialist and will oversee many of our student services as well as our regional information sessions and participation in adult learner events. Jim has been teaching in our Communicating Arts major for several years, and previously taught in the English department on campus. Johanna comes to us from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where she has been a faculty member in the Social Work department. She will serve as Instructional Program Manager, overseeing our course and program development, course revision, and instructional quality assurance processes. Both Jim and Johanna will be advisors and will advise students previously advised by Sharon Lavine and Barbara Doherty, as well as those students advised by Ron Harshman and Cathy Pulkinen not yet been admitted to the Teacher Education Program. Watch your e-mail for a message from your new advisor soon.
Register for Fall Now!
If you've waited until now to register for the fall term, wait no longer! Enroll through the E-Hive if you have completed advising, or contact us at 877-528-6597 or dlc@uwsuper.edu to schedule an advisor appointment.

Advisor Transition Update
Here at the Distance Learning Center, we're about to complete our search process for two new program advisors. We ask our applicants to make presentations related to the position they're seeking. Our most recent presentations, by candidates for the position overseeing our instructional programs as well as advising, were recorded and may be viewed as streaming video. Follow these links to see presentations on "Key elements in designing and delivering a quality distance learning program."

Mr. Erik Birkeland - http://apps.uwsuper.edu:8080/asxgen/DLC/Birkeland.wmv
Thanks to Juliet Means for suggesting this method to provide you a chance to see the candidates, and to Tom Tu and Savannah Smith of our staff for making the videos.
With this staffing transition also comes a change in advising practice. Students pursuing the Elementary Education Degree will be advised by faculty in our Teacher Education department once they have been admitted to the Teacher Education Program. Ron Harshman's and Cathy Pulkinen's advisees in this category have recently been assigned Teacher Education advisors. I'm also pleased to announce that Cathy will be joining the faculty of Teacher Education this fall and may soon be teaching in the online program.
We'll keep you informed by e-mail, including this newsletter, as changes occur and new staff join our program.
Website Improvements Underway
A substantially revamped version of the Distance Learning Center website will soon be unveiled. You should find the updated site easier to navigate and locate information and forms you need. To help us finish our edits and improvements, please reply to this e-mail to let me know: what changes to the website would make it more helpful for you? I'll appreciate your feedback.

A Snow Day in April
Today I'm writing again from my living room in Lake Nebagamon. Many of you are also at home due to the blizzard that's forging its way across the Midwest. It's certainly handy to have online access on days like this - I have some homework of my own to do. If you're in the same situation, I hope you find today a chance to get some quiet time to catch up on your classes.
Direct Access to Learn@UW-Superior
Due to a power outage in Superior, the UW-Superior webserver has been off line this morning. Since Learn@UW-Superior operates on a server in Madison, you still have access if you use the direct address: http://uwsuper.courses.wisconsin.edu/. If you ever have access problems, try that address first.
More Student Regent News
Not one, not two, not three, but four UW-Superior students have been applicants for the non-traditional student regent position. December Dickerson recently notified me that she also is a candidate for this role. Best of luck to all applicants. We should hear soon who has been selected.
