WT2013 and SP2013 Bb Course Shells Created on 12/1 WT2013 Bb shells are located at http://bb-winter.umbc.edu

Bb course shells for both SP2013 and WT2013 were created on December, 1, 2012.  The course shells for SP2013 are located on the Bb production server at http://blackboard.umbc.edu.  As previously announced WT2013 courses will be run on a separate server at http://bb-winter.umbc.edu.  The Bb production server will be taken offline from January 4 - 14, 2013 while it is being upgraded.  All courses and organizations on the Bb production server will be unavailable during that time.  If you require any past Bb content for your WT2013 courses please make sure to export it prior to midnight January 3, 2013.

Enrollments for both SP2013 and WT2013 courses will continue to be updated daily. Bb shells are available for all courses (designated as lecture, lab, field or discussion) listed in the UMBC Schedule of Classes (SOC), provided that there is an instructor of record listed. The addition of new course sections and instructors will result in new Bb shells being automatically generated each morning. Student enrollment in Bb will continue to mirror the official registration in SA, and will update hourly.

If you are an instructor, and your name is not associated with the course you are teaching in the SOC, please see your departmental scheduling coordinator to get that issue resolved. Once you are listed in the SOC, your Bb course shell will be created automatically.

Additionally in situations where one instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course, by default all sections will be combined into one Bb course shell. If you want to have separate shells for different sections, or if you need a shell for for a research or independent study course, please submit a new course request or submit an RT ticket with your request.

As a reminder, all Bb course shells are initially unavailable to students until the instructor makes it available. ]]> Bb course shells for both SP2013 and WT2013 were created on December, 1, 2012.  The course shells for SP2013 are located on the Bb production server at http://blackboard.umbc.edu.  As previously... http://blackboard.umbc.edu https://beta.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/20352/guest@my.umbc.edu/e273c63717f7385d5059505eef9c68ba/api/pixel blackboard Division of Information Technology (DoIT) https://beta.my.umbc.edu/groups/doit https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xsmall.png?1727453227 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/original.JPG?1727453227 https://assets1-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xxlarge.png?1727453227 https://assets3-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xlarge.png?1727453227 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/large.png?1727453227 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/medium.png?1727453227 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/small.png?1727453227 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xsmall.png?1727453227 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/021/d27760c5de12c74b73faec8d0e631acf/xxsmall.png?1727453227 Division of Information Technology 1 0 true Mon, 03 Dec 2012 13:20:04 -0500 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 06:39:19 -0500 December Library Book Sale Weds.

East Asia/Pacific Summer (NSF), National Physical Sciences Consortium
Dear Graduate Students,
Please note that some of our alumni have taken advantage of these fellowships in the past and have found them to be extremely rewarding! We list two here:
1) The East Asia Pacific Summer Institute (Note that Dr. Alexis Harryman, UMBC Biology, participated in this fellowship. She loved it and was a spokeperson for the seminar a few years ago. Alex participated in the Meyerhoff Graduate Fellows Program, and in PROMISE. )
2) The National Physical Science Consortium.  (Note that we’ve had NPSC scholars in the past. This deadline in Nov. 30.)
 
———————–
EAPSI
The EAPSI Program provides U.S. graduate students in science and engineering (U.S. citizens and permanent residents) with an opportunity to spend 8 weeks (10 weeks for Japan) during the summer conducting research at one of the seven host locations in East Asia and Pacific: Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan.
 
NSF provides EAPSI Fellows with a $5,000 stipend and roundtrip airplane ticket to the host location. Our foreign counterparts provide in-country living expenses and accommodations (arrangements vary by host location).
 
For more information, please read the Program Solicitation, host location-specific Handbooks, and How to Apply Guide available at www.nsf.gov/eapsi.  Please note that only one letter of recommendation (from current advisor) is required.  Please forward this NSF research opportunity to your faculty, graduate students, and anyone interested: www.nsf.gov/eapsi.  Proposal submission deadline for Summer 2013 has been extended till Thursday, December 6, 2012.
———————
NPSC
The Traditional NPSC Program provides a two-phase, six-year fellowship, and The Dissertation Support Program provides support while the graduate student conducts dissertation research.  The deadline in Nov. 30, 2012. Please apply: http://www.npsc.org.
Please pay attention to these important opportunities! Congratulations to all of you who have submitted your NSF GRFP, GEM, Ford Foundation, and NIH applications! We’re so proud of you for working hard. Several members of our community have won these awards in the past. We also thank PROMISE Alums Dr. Frances Carter-Johnson and Dr. Patti Ordóñez Rozo for working with so many of you over the past several months, both during their fellowship seminar, and on their own time. Thanks also to the Graduate School at College Park for their fellowships seminar. Good luck everyone!
