a) take the course

or

b) print their certificate of completion.

This is an issue with Internet Explorer and cookies.  If students log in through Chrome or Firefox they should be fine.

Here are instructions for any student who needs them.

Study Room Complaint

FYI, in case it comes up again, a student complained about study room 238 being too hot yesterday.
Leslie called Control.
Hopefully, that fixed it (fingers crossed).

Quick Reminder

Hey everyone, I just wanted to remind you all that we are in extended hours and our 24 hours starts Thursday, December 4th. We need to be diligent in checking the printer paper in the printers. This is the time when our users are printing projects, papers, and study materials. I do the best I can to make sure the printers are filled before leaving at 3:30pm each day. It is extremely helpful when we all keep track of it. If you are at the desk, you don't even have to leave to verify if the printers are full or need materials. Please refer to the previous blog post on How to Check Ink and Printer Paper. I really do appreciate any help I get when it comes to checking the printers and copiers. Thanks a ton! :)
