"Hanging at WMUCC, getting our learn on..."

One of the most effective ways for preparing for class discussions and exams is by using a study group. Study groups provide a number of benefits to the learning process. These WMUCC students are studying for a test in the class HUS 101 Introduction to Social Service Systems.

Our students are enrolled in both traditional on-site classes and classes made available by use of emerging technologies. Interactive television (ITV), video conferencing (VC), computer-based, videotape and telephone conferencing are some of the systems used to provide broad access to higher education.

We support students who are recent high school graduates, many of whom use the UCT as a way to start their college career close to home. The majority of our students are adults returning to school; some completing degrees started years ago, others upgrading skills and education. Many people are taking college classes for the first time.

We provide local access to college education in a supportive environment, close to home.

Welcome to our new and returning students! To help in your success, the following notes and attachments are designed to aid you, and us, in making a great experience for everyone.
Sign-In/Mail Folders.   Please come to the front desk each time you come to class to sign attendance sheets and to pick up any returned homework, tests, or other information sent to you by your instructor.
Resource Room.  The resource room is located on the first floor and has several study carrels, a computer cluster, and comfortable seating for you to use. We like to keep that room fairly quiet for students who are studying or viewing classes.
Smoking Policy. The building and the surrounding parking lot belong to SAD 17 and the town of South Paris. School policy prohibits smoking on any part of the campus, including the parking lot and lawn areas. Smokers, please honor this policy. We thank you for doing so.
Lost and Found. Items of all kinds are found in the building every semester. Some of them are never claimed. Let us know if you have lost or left something behind, or want to report something found.
Work-study/Volunteer Workers. If you have been awarded financial aid for work-study and want a job or would like to volunteer in the building, please see Nikki Abbott.

Be Green - Save a Tree!

Please help us reduce costs and save a tree or two.The cost of toner and paper for the printers is paid for through the Center’s budget.   Your support will help us avoid the need to institute a per page printing fee.  Please limit your use of the lab printer to University related print jobs. (This means you’ll have to go to Staples to print that garage sale flier).  Here are a few sample tips that will help you save money (and the planet) at the Center and at home:

• Before printing from the internet always do a “print preview.”  This will spare accidentally printing 3 or 30 pages when you just wanted one page.
• Better yet perform CPP: Copy the text you need, Paste it to a Word document, then print.
• Best of all, just email it to yourself and skip the print job!
• Avoid printing Power Point slides individually—always select “Handouts” as your print option (look for “Print What:” preferably six sides to a page).
• If you need help with ordering books from our on-line library system, activating your e-mail account or any other issues, please ask. We are here to help!   Don’t hesitate to stop in at the reception desk and ask for assistance. Have a wonderful semester!
