Several news items...

Hello students.  Got a couple of items for you.

First The Yellow Dot program is something first responders should be aware of. The program is to aid in identifying an individual in an accident, what allergies they may have, medications they are on, emergency contact etc. A Utah resident applies for the program, has a picture taken, and fills out a yellow packet that is kept in the glove compartment. A Yellow Dot sticker on their back windshield indicates that their photo and emergency information is in the vehicle. Please read up on the program so that if you see the sticker you know what it means and can find their emergency info. if the victim of an accident is unable to respond to your questions. Read up on it through the link below.

Employement

Good afternoon students! A few things for you today: Two days till the summer tuition deadline! Make sure you have your scholarships, financial aid, or payment plan squared away. 

I want to give another thank you to the SLC Metro Gang Unit for letting me (Mary) ride with them again. I have grown to appreciate what they do and their willingness to have me tag along asking a billion questions.

For my students, ride alongs with fire/police are a great way to hold on to the skills you learned in school, make contacts, open up job opportunities, and have something to put on your resume. I highly suggest everyone participate in ride alongs if they can.

New jobs have been posted in the job board!!!

Tuition Deadline

Anyone ever see the movie The Ring? 7 Days.....only in this case it isn't 7 days till you die but 7 days until the tuition payment deadline! You won't die but you won't be happy either if your classes are dropped for non payment. May 1st is also the deadline for residency applications. There are 12 ways to get residency so if you are a non resident student you may want to look into that.

In other news the Fire Games will be at 1pm today at the fire academy. Hope to see you there!

Post Clarification

Happy Thursday everyone. The weekend is almost here and I am sure we are all glad of that.

Clarification on a previous post concerning advisors no longer registering students for courses:  

As advisors we are here to help you figure out what classes to take next and how best to finish your degree. Due to policy changes at UVU we are to give students the guidance so that they may register themselves for classes. Some of you know how while others don't so for those who don't we can provide instruction to help you get started. Us not registering you for courses in no way means that we will not be helping you to figure out what courses to take.  The policy change asks that students register themselves unless there is a problem then call on us!

As stated in the previous post we are always here to help =)

Sincerely,  Mary
