SABRE Update

Registration and Grading
Registration for summer and fall 2004 began on Wednesday, April 14, and will continue through the start of classes. Please direct students who are having problems to the Registrar's Office, which is prepared to assist them via e-mail, over the phone, and in person. Should you experience any difficulties or have concerns, please contact SABRE Support at ext. 3434 or sabresupport@buffalostate.edu.

Preparation for online grading begins this week. All academic departments received information pertaining to grading, including a grading booklet and several relevant brochures. All adjunct faculty members were mailed copies of these materials. Eighty-five percent of academic departments have identified "grading gurus" who are participating in hands-on sessions this week and next. Thanks to the 60 people who are serving their colleagues in this way. Questions about grading also can be directed to SABRE Support.

From the Chair of the College Senate

Senate Elections
Senate elections are under way and continue through Friday, April 30. Requests for paper ballots concluded April 2. Please vote electronically at www.buffalostate.edu/orgs/senate/election. If you need assistance, please contact Maurine Baker-Stein at ext. 4538 or bakerme@buffalostate.edu.

Those who wish to vote electronically must have an NT account (the account used for Outlook). If you do not have an NT account or have not used your NT account in some time, call the Computing Support Center at ext. 4357. Paper ballots will be tallied after electronic ballots; thus, if a member should accidentally vote twice, only the electronic vote will be recorded.

We urge your participation in this vital process of campus governance. Please do not forget to vote.
