Remember to Request your Tests

A reminder that, in addition to filing an exam proctor form, you must separately request the exam you're scheduled to take. You can do this easily by e-mailing DLC@uwsuper.edu with the course name and exam title or number. You can also make your request by calling 877-528-6597.

Advisor Transition

I've mentioned previously that several of our advisors are retiring this summer. Barbara Doherty retires June 30th and we expect to announce her replacement soon. In the meantime, her advisees should contact her next week to finish up any unfinished fall advising or to just wish her well in her next career. Ron Harshman and Sharon Lavine will conclude their advising at the end of August and we expect to have their advisees reassigned by mid-August. Advisees will be notified by e-mail of your new advisor's name and contact information.

Cyber Cafe Rest Area

Our support course for students is back with a new name for summer. The Cyber Cafe Rest Area is a place where you can meet fellow students and post questions about Distance Learning. Melissa Crow is again serving as our student peer mentor. Melissa will be happy to share her experience as a distance learner and help you find answers to your questions. We're now enrolling all students in the course, so you'll see it among your courses if you're enrolled for Summer College. Be sure to visit and leave a question or a comment in one of the discussions.
