OFFICE OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
On Monday, October 25, the college will implement enhanced security procedures for BannerWeb, including new rules for creating BannerWeb PINs and new security questions. The first time you log in to BannerWeb after October 24, you will be required to follow a special procedure to access your account. We recommend that you go through this process soon so that you are not having to do it at a more stressful time. For more information and full instructions, see: http://www.smith.edu/tara/bannerweb/bannerweb_pin.html.
At students' request, the Office of Academic Support Services, in conjunction with the Moodle Administrator, has created a Moodle page that contains pdfs of all course syllabi for Summer 2010. It can be found in Moodle under your course list and is called "SSW Syllabi - Summer 2010." We hope you find this useful.
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE
Student bills are sent out monthly with the exception of May and August. (In May students are in transit and getting ready to come to SSW. In August, students are relocating to their field sites and addresses are being updated during this time).
Please remember to check your Smith email regularly and check this timeline for upcoming dates:
The Thesis Guidelines has some interim deadlines that may help keep everyone on track. December 3, 2010 is an interim time line for revision or completion of the literature review and/or beginning of the methodology for empirical theses or the phenomenon and first theory chapters for theoretical theses.
January 28, 2011 is the deadline for the submission of the HSR application. Data collection should ideally be completed by the end of March. These interim deadlines were added in the spirit of keeping the work moving forward.
