If you are scheduled to teach in a classroom that is not equipped with a smart console, but you need access to a Windows PC or DVD/VHS player during that time, the Instructional Resources Office has smart carts available to meet your needs.

Smart carts are equipped with a projector, a Windows 7 PC, a DVD/VHS player, and computer speakers. They can be reserved for time slots on selected dates or for regularly recurring days throughout the semester.

To reserve a smart cart, please call ext. 4535 or send e-mail to webercw@buffalostate.edu. Alternatively, you can stop by Bulger Communication Center 204 during business hours to make the reservation in person. Please know the time, date, location, and frequency that you will need the cart. Training sessions can be arranged in advance if needed.

Users must pick up and return their smart carts. To optimize availability for others, please be sure to return carts promptly at the end of your reservation.

Please be aware that when students are viewing their timeticket start and end date on the Registration Status page, the start date is the first date they are eligible to register for that term (all registration-related activity begins at 6:00 a.m. on the assigned date), and the end date is the last actual date that they can enter an online course withdrawal in the system (deadline time is always 11:59 p.m.).

The following statement and link to the Registrar's Office deadlines page has been added to the top of the Registration Status page:

Registration activity includes adding, dropping, and online course withdrawals. Refer to link for term specific deadlines at Registration Deadlines.

The Volunteer Fair and September 11 National Day of Service will be an opportunity for Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff to remember and recognize a tragic yet important day in our nation's history.

As a part of the Anne Frank Project, the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center will facilitate the campus's participation in this national day of service to recognize the importance of active citizenship not only during times of crisis but every day. The event will provide opportunities for students to pause during a busy day and spend a few minutes or a few hours helping with specific community's identified needs through on-campus service projects.

Thirty-five nonprofit organizations will be on campus from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to speak with students about volunteer opportunities that connect with personal interests and to provide service projects that can be accomplished in a small amount of time while making a large impact. These projects will allow students to realize that service does not have to take a significant time commitment. Everyone can help transform the community.

Questions can be directed to the Volunteer and Service-Learning Center, ext. 5811, vslc@buffalostate.edu, or stop by Cleveland Hall 306.

We invite students, faculty, and staff to walk with the Buffalo State Cares team for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Saturday, September, 14, in Delaware Park.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., and the walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. For more information, to register, or to donate, please visit our website.

We’re excited to announce the availability of free enrollment verification through Student Self-Service at Buffalo State. Student Self-Service enrollment verification saves students a trip to the Registrar’s Office by providing them with the ability to perform the following services securely via the web 24/7:

• Print enrollment verification certificates to send to health insurers, housing providers, insurance companies, banks, consumer product companies, or other organizations requiring proof of enrollment.
• Check the deferment forms and electronic notifications sent to lenders.
• Obtain a list of student loan lenders and link to real-time loan information.
• View enrollment history.
• View enrollment verifications provided to student service providers.

Student Self-Service is free, easy to use, and secure. Students can try it by logging on to Banner using their student IDs and PINs. Click path: Main Menu > Student > Online Enrollment Verification. Note: If students want an enrollment verification for the fall 2013 semester before the first day of classes, they must select the “advanced registration” option once they reach the enrollment verification page.

Student Self-Service is provided through the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit organization serving the higher education community.
