Wednesday, April 25th, 2018

At the end of the spring semester a university-wide bicycle “clean-up” will be done. Here are the details:

  • Bicycles that are illegally parked, unregistered or inoperable will be impounded.
  • Bicycle racks need to be cleared to do routine maintenance to the bicycle racks and surrounding areas.
  • The basement of Gulley Hall will no longer be a place to store bikes. The space will be used for other needs after April 30.
  • Bikes will be tagged the Monday after graduation week (April 30) and rounded up the following Friday (May 4).
  • In order to accommodate the maintenance of the bike rack areas, bicycles may not be stored on campus during the summer. If you are not going to be on campus using your bicycle during the summer, please remove it.
  • Juniors Abroad students and students using their bikes during the summer must remove their bikes from campus racks and move them to their place of summer residence or a temporary place of storage before the round-up on May 4.
  • Bicycles NOT picked up from the impound lot by May 31 will be forwarded to the local charities at the discretion of campus public safety department. Junk bicycles will be recycled.

FoxTALE end-of-semester reminders

Sunday, April 22nd, 2018

A few end-of-semester FoxTALE reminders …

  • FoxTALE Open Labs are available during finals week. View dates and times here.
  • If you used the FoxTALE grade book for any of your FoxTALE course sites, back up your 2018 spring grade book to a spreadsheet that is saved outside of FoxTALE. See the instructions here for backing up grades. You will want to keep an archive of your course grades that cover the last five years.
  • Use your new, empty 2018 summer course sites as the sites in which you will teach. You may import content from another course site. See the instructions here for importing.
  • 2018 summer sites are currently hidden from student view, as are all future courses. When you are ready, you can share the sites with your students. Here is a quick guide on how to make the courses available: FoxTALE Making Courses Visible to Students.
  • Your 2018-19 course sites are available now. This guide, FoxTALE Changes for 2018-19 Course Sites, will help you get acquainted with the changes in course layout and menus.
  • Visit the FoxTALE for Faculty webpage for a list of guides and resources.
