Hi Everyone-
I just learned of a change of policy that will take effect Fall 2008.
Currently, students are allowed to take up to 12 credits before they are officially accepted into any graduate program in the School of Education. Beginning Fall 2008, students will be able to take 6 graduate credits before being accepted into the program.
What does this mean for you?
If you have not yet completed the admissions process and been accepted into ALOP...you'll want to do it by the end of the summer. Here is the admission process, but if you have questions feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

FYI: Billing of tuition and fees
Beginning Summer 2008, billing of tuition and fees will be sent to students via BlueView. The student will receive an email notice that their billing statement is available on-line. The student will be directed to BlueView, then to the Student Services Tab. Their statement will be available in the "My Drake Account" channel. Students can view their statements and make payments on-line, if they choose.
Any questions regarding your statement or if you are experiencing any difficulties accessing your statement through BlueView, please contact the Office of Student Accounts at 515-271-4777.

Heads up on Drake email fraudulent messages
Dear Drake Community,
Drake OIT is notifying its Webmail customers about an abusive email practice in which a fraudulent message requests that the Universities Webmail customers submit personal information online.
Drake OIT emphasize that we never uses electronic communication to request personal information, and it is warning consumers to delete suspicious email and report encounters with the abusive practice known as "phishing." "Phishing" is typically an electronic attempt to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, birth dates, passwords, bank account or credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity.
The suspicious email message was sent last week to Webmail users with Drake Email accounts. It falsely claims an affiliation with Drake while making a request for personal data.
Customers who encounter a suspicious email or website claiming an affiliation with Webmail should report the information by reporting it to the Drake Service Desk (x3001).

Bucksbaum Lecture April 9
As many of you may know, Drake hosts several lectures each year as part of the Bucksbaum lecture series. April 9th at 7:30pm, Erik Peterson will speak on the Seven Revolutions initiative, and will explore issues leaders will face out to the year 2025.
It should be a fascinating night of future trends, insights and implications for leaders and the rest of us. This should be interesting and useful no matter what your concentration (Training & Development, Leadership, HRM or Higher Education).
Consider getting together for "dinner and a lecture" with some of your ALOP colleagues or, since it's free and open to the public, feel free to bring your non-Drake friends and family too!
