Parking permit update
Parking permits must now be purchased online at www.thepermitstore.com.
Parking Services, located on the lower level of the Student
Union, has switched to an entirely electronic system of
purchasing and distributing permits to University of Alaska
Anchorage students, faculty, and staff. Detailed instructions
on how to purchase a permit online are available at www.uaa.alaska.edu/parking,
and a computer is available in the Parking Services office.
Vehicles without parking permits will not be penalized during
the first week of the semester, but drivers who purchase
their permits should allow three to five days for shipping
time.
IT begins charging for copies
Printing from Information Technology Services computer
labs is no longer free. As part of a “cost-recovery
system,” ITS has installed the Uniprint system in
open computer labs at the Commons, the library, the Student
Union, the University Center, the Learning Resource Center
Computer Labs and at the Consortium Library and the Language
computer lab. The Uniprint system charges 8 cents for regular
black and white laser prints, 14 cents for double-sided
black and white laser prints, 28 cents for regular color
laser prints and 53 cents for double-sided color prints.
UAA students who have paid the UAA Technology Fee are
credited with $8 to their Uniprint accounts at the start
of each semester. The credit is non-accumulating. Students
can add funds to their Uniprint accounts at Value Transfer
Stations located in the Commons Lobby, Consortium Library,
Sally Moneserud Hall, Student Union, or the WolfCard Office
at the University Center.
Voter registrars needed
During the month of September, UAA will hold a campus
voter registration drive as part of a goal to get 100 percent
of students, faculty and staff registered to vote. The drive
still needs voter registrars. Training for registrars begins
the first week of September and lasts about 45 minutes.
Contact Cindy Marshall at 786-6133 or e-mail anclm@uaa.alaska.edu
to sign up for voter registrar training.
Submit your favorite poems
As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the University
of Alaska Anchorage is putting on the “Favorite Poem
Project,” inspired by former United States Poet Laureate,
Robert Pinsky. Submit your favorite poem to favoritepoem@uaa.alaska.edu
and include the entire poem, your name, age and occupation
as well as your contact information. Include a few lines
explaining why this is your favorite poem. Poems are being
collected through Oct. 8. Selected submissions will be posted
on UAA’s website beginning Sept. 13. You could be
invited to read your favorite poems aloud at an Oct. 21
reading sponsored by UAA’s Department of Creative
Writing and Literary Arts, Student Activities and the Alaska
Quarterly Review. For more information, contact Karen Hill
786-1288 or by e-mail anklh2@uaa.alaska.edu.
