School of Management New Website Launch

As you may have noticed, the School of Management recently launched a new website. As a result, some links in syllabi and WebCT may not be functioning correctly and some information on the website may be outdated. We are in the process of fixing these broken links and updating the information. We appreciate your patience in this matter. If you have any questions about the information on the website, please feel free to contact us at som-elearning@utdallas.edu

  

Thank you,

Darren Crone

Graduation Application Due

If you are graduating this Fall 2008, you must submit a graduation application by this Friday August 29, 2008.  You can find the application, along with instructions, at the bottom of the Graduate Dean’s website.  There is no fee if you submit it by this Friday.  If you do not, you will need to pay a $100 late fee.

Updated Java Certificate

Good morning folks. We just received the following msg from our WebCT admins:

WebCT had a java signing certificate set to expire this month; it’s now been replaced with a new certificate set to expire in August 2010. Users will receive a pop-up asking that they confirm the new signing certificate the first time they log in to WebCT from a computer (and subsequently if they do not choose to permanently accept). This is expected, and users are encouraged to accept the certificate.

Welcome to Fall 2008!

Greetings!

Fall 2008 semester starts tomorrow – Aug. 21. Students will be able to access all Fall 2008 full term and first 8-week online courses from tomorrow. Please check out this welcome message if you haven’t received it via email. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Have a great online semester!

Electrical Outage – Aug 30-31

An upgrade to the electrical power infrastructure for the UTD campus will be performed on Saturday, August 30 and Sunday, August 31. The power upgrade will require the disruption of regular and emergency electrical power to most computer systems. As a result, many computer systems (including WebCT, Email, Galaxy, and SIS) will not be operational during the outage. We apologize for the disruption in service to the University’s user community. The patience and tolerance of the user community is greatly appreciated as this necessary work is accomplished.

Computer systems availability will generally be disrupted beginning at 6:00 PM on Saturday, August 30, when systems will be taken down on a phased basis. Electrical work will begin at 10:00 PM and it should conclude around 7:00 AM on Sunday morning, August 31. Power will be restored at approximately that time. All systems should be back on-line no later than 12:00 noon on Sunday, August 31.

The patience and tolerance of the University’s user community is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Last Days to Register

The last day of Regular Registration is August 19th.  You must register and pay by that day if you do not want to encounter any late fees.  Late Registration will begin August 20th and end August 28th.  Students will be assessed a minimum $100 late payment fee if they register during Late Registration.  Information about registration deadlines is posted on the Academic Calendar.
