BannerWeb will reopen between April 10 and April 13 for adding courses to your schedule where seats are available following second-summer registration (see details online at http://www.smith.edu/ssw/oas/oas_thirdsummer.php).
The revised elective schedule is posted on the website at http://www.smith.edu/ssw/oas/oas_electiveschedule.php.
The add/drop procedure is described at http://www.smith.edu/ssw/oas_registration.php.
We would like to remind you that the Spring Planning Guide is now online and contains many important dates and deadlines, including information about Central Check-In and Sunday Check-In.
Your summer 2011 courses will be linked to Moodle around the second week in May. SSW Moodle instructions in TARA, developed specifically for SSW students, can be found on the For Current Students page, which you should bookmark for future reference.
Please include your student ID (99) number with all correspondence with the school, including voice mail messages. Since there may be several students, past and present, with the same name, including your 99 number ensures that any requests for address changes, waivers, information, registration requests, etc., are completed for you in a timely and accurate manner.
This is a reminder that last summer's courses will be deactivated in Moodle at the end of the third week of April. Please plan accordingly.
Please bookmark the following url for reference when the BannerWeb or other systems appear to not be working: http://www.smith.edu/status/. We have found that power outages and other situations beyond the control of SSW occur with some frequency during times when our students are using BannerWeb (usually on the weekend when no SSW staff are available). This ITS site is the best way to learn whether a technical problem you are experiencing is the result of an emergency technical situation.

Do you have experience with sexual assault and relationship violence programming? Are you interested in collaborating with other students, sharing ideas, and creating a workshop to address sexual assault and relationship violence within the Smith and Northampton communities? I want to hear your ideas about how to create programming on this very important issue geared towards an adult audience. The workshop will take place the first week of the summer term.
