WELCOME STUDENTS!!!

UMC’S E-MAIL POLICY -- Access to, and use of, e-mail is a privilege and should be treated as such by all users. E-mail addresses and passwords are assigned to individuals and are not to be shared. Students are encouraged to select an obscure password and change it frequently. Computing services, including e-mail, may not be used for illegal or unauthorized purposes including: harassment; destruction of, or damage to, equipment, software, or data belonging to others; or the disruption or unauthorized monitoring of electronic communications. Using e-mail to participate in illegal acts is itself illegal and may be subject to prosecution by state and federal authorities. Use of e-mail for private business purposes unrelated to the University is not allowed. Students are responsible for using system resources wisely. Students, who use the system in ways that are judged excessive or wasteful, may have their access taken away and may be subject to University disciplinary procedures.

PARKING ENFORCEMENT -- Please remember to purchase your parking permit from the Business Office in Selvig Hall. Ticketing for NO PERMIT will begin Tuesday, September 7th. All vehicles parked on the University campus must have a valid permit displayed from their rear view mirror.

STUDENT CONDUCT CODE -- Students are reminded that they are responsible for the information contained in the Student Conduct Code. Copies are available at various locations around campus including the Bede Information Desk, the Library, and the Office of the Registrar.

Some student information – name, address, electronic (e-mail) address, telephone number, dates of enrollment and enrollment status (full time, part time, not enrolled, withdrawn, and date of withdrawal), college and class, major, adviser, academic awards and honors received, and degrees earned – is considered public or directory information. Students may prevent the release of public information by completing a form available at the Office of the Registrar, 109 Selvig Hall. A copy of the Regent’s policy is available for review on the Web at: http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/administrative/StudentRecords.pdf

WEB EMPLOYER—Web Employer is a component that empowers employers we work with to post positions and search for candidate resumes over the web. This means less data entry for our office and staff and fewer hassles with faxing candidate resumes. Web Employer gives 1stPlace! up-to-date information on all employer activity by creating referral records so that we know which employers are contacting which applicants. Employers can only view active applicant resumes and are restricted from viewing any additional applicant information. Web components allow us to track and administer every interaction students and employers have with the system from the 1stPlace! database within our office. For more information contact the Counseling and Career Center, Bede Hall, room 106.
