Will your student be moving off campus next year? Let Housing and Residential Communities' Off Campus Resources office can assist your student in making that transition.
Following are some tips to share with your student:

-  Encourage your student to select a roommate(s) s/he know will be financially responsible for their share of the rent, utilities, etc.
-  Make sure you and your student read the lease carefully and keep a copy of the lease in a safe place for future reference.

Mid-Term Grades

students studying

Mid-terms grades will be posted by March 3, 2010 for many 100 and 200 level courses. This is a great time to check-in with your student and discuss their academic progress at the Capstone. Students who have less than satisfactory progress at mid-term, will receive an e-mail from the Dean of Students Office informing them of campus resources and academic support. Students will also have the opportunity to meet with a staff member to discuss their grades, if they desire. We urge students whose progress in nine or more credit hours is less than satisfactory to schedule a meeting as soon as possible. This can assist students in matriculating successfully at UA if we are able to reach them early in the academic semester. For more information about mid-term grades, please contact Dr. Lowell K. Davis, Assistant Dean of Students at lkdavis2@sa.ua.edu or 205-348-3326.
