The Technology Learning Commons Computer Lab (in the basement of Seelye Hall) is now a 24 hr accessible computer lab with a OneCard swipe. Members of the SSW community can get into the building through the back of Seelye and the front entrance (both are accessible now and both have card swipes). The lab is also accessed with a OneCard swipe to the left of the door.

Happy Ramadan to any members of the SSW community celebrating the Muslim holy month that begins on June 18th!
We encourage any students on meal plans who are observing the fast to contact dining services (dining@smith.edu) regarding alternate meal time options.
In July all SSW students who are not graduating or going into post-residency will be automatically enrolled and billed $2,004 for the School's health insurance plan in order to ensure compliance with Massachusetts' mandate on health insurance coverage for all full-time students. This is for coverage from September 1, 2015 - August 31, 2016.
Students who wish to waive out of the School's plan must do so by August 7th by going online to www.gallagherstudent.com/SmithSSW and follow the instructions on the website. Please contact Michele Bala at mbala@smith.edu with any questions or concerns.
If you need to cancel to your appointments with us, please do so using WCOnline. Just click on your appointment and hit the cancel button at the bottom of the appointment form. This will free the space up for another writer. Thank you!

The deadline for ordering regalia from University Cap and Gown is July 10, 2015. (The vendor cannot guarantee availability on orders received after July 10th; additional shipping fees may apply.)
In an effort to keep costs low, all regalia will be rented; Master's regalia rental costs are $50.00 for the entire outfit (cap, tassel, hood and gown). Those yet to complete degree requirements will wear the same cap and gown without a hood. Students will be able to keep their academic hood and tassel.
To rent regalia, please visit the link below. You may pay when you pick up your outfit at the Grecourt Bookshop between Monday, August 3rd and Friday, August 7th. Bookshop hours are Mon - Fri, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Rentals must be returned to Grecourt within one week of graduation; there will be boxes for this purpose at several locations for your convenience.
