Student Resources

The 体育菠菜大平台 Online website provides links to a variety of student resources including information about getting started at 体育菠菜大平台 (how to register for classes on MyBlue, online student orientation) and student tutorials. 

Students with Disabilities/Special Needs

体育菠菜大平台 is committed to providing support for students with disabilities. If you are a student with physical, learning, emotional, or psychological disabilities you are encouraged to contact the Disabilities Coordinator at 308-865-8214. Students must have a reasonable accommodation plan (RAP) from the Academic Success Office to receive any accommodations.

体育菠菜大平台 Research Services Council (RSC) offers grants of up to $750 to graduate students to offset the costs of materials, consumable supplies, and mileage related to research. Students are encouraged to seek both RSC funds and external sources of funding. Advisors are expected to assist students in these pursuits. Applications and instructions are available online through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

Thesis and non-thesis students may also contact their advisor/mentor for possible funding options through the Department of Biology.

Professional Meetings

As a member of the scientific community, graduate students are encouraged to attend local, regional, and national meetings to present their findings. Funds to support this activity are available through the Research Services Council. Applications and instructions are available through the department and online through the Office of Sponsored Programs.  Students additionally are encouraged to contact their advisor/mentor for other funding sources.

Publication

Students are highly encouraged to publish their scientific findings. Advisors should suggest appropriate journals for publication and provide students with assistance in preparation of manuscripts.

Library

Access to the 体育菠菜大平台 library can be achieved at http://library.cnlawyer18.com. This link provides instructions on how to use the library, a link for asking questions 24 hours a day, and a search box for online access.

Computers

Computer use is important for all students, but it is essential for distance students. If you are having difficulties with your computer, you can receive 24 hr assistance at 308-865-8363 or the 体育菠菜大平台 Help Desk. 

Canvas

Classes in the program are administered through the Canvas courseware. If a student is having difficulty with the system, they should contact the computer help desk at 308-865-8363. Students should check Canvas every day to get announcements and assignments from faculty.

E-mail

Email is an important method of communication at 体育菠菜大平台. Every 体育菠菜大平台 student is issued a student email account that is accessible using an Internet browser or a POP3 client such as Eudora or Outlook Express. Correspondence with professors and the major advisor should be conducted through the 体育菠菜大平台 email address. Students should check this account on a regular basis.

Contacting Faculty and Staff

Faculty and staff, particularly the program coordinators Brian Peterson and Robyn Schoenebeck, are available to assist you with questions. Contacting them at msbiology@cnlawyer18.com will result in the quickest response, although they are also available for phone consultations (308-865-1589). However, please remember that the program consists of 400 students, so it is important to be mindful of the time of those faculty and staff you contact. Graduate work is meant to be self-driven and thus you should not expect all answers to be supplied by faculty and staff. The student is expected to accept the majority of the responsibility for learning at this level.
