Students are urged to check their UB e-mail accounts regularly, including throughout the Winter Recess. Important academic and financial communications, Be Advised web log updates, and other details that affect students’ statuses are communicated year-round. Be sure that you check your UB e-mail and that you stay informed!
On Tuesday, January 2, 2007, Fall 2006 grades will be available on UB transcripts so be sure that you have logged onto MyUB and viewed “My Grades.” Consult the Undergraduate Catalog and also verify that you understand UB’s Explanation of Grades.
• Do You Have an Incomplete Grade?
A grade of incomplete (”I̶ 
may be given to students who have not completed all of the assigned work in a course if they have a passing average and there exists a well-defined means by which the course requirements can be completed. The grade of “I” must be removed within a period of fifteen months. Students may NOT re-register for a course in which they have a grade of Incomplete.
For deadline dates and other important information on Incomplete grades visit the Undergraduate Catalog at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/policies/grading/explanation.shtml.
• Do You Have a “J” Grade?
A “J” indicates a reporting error. Generally, reporting errors are corrected prior to the start of the next semester, however, a “J” may occasionally remain on the student’s record. The student should immediately contact the instructor and/or department to correct the error; without correction, “J” grades automatically default to “F” grades at the end of the following semester.
Have questions? Remember to talk with your instructors first and utilize an Academic Advisor to help you plan accordingly.
If you were a first-semester student this fall 2006 semester and had been awarded credit for CLEP exams, A-level courses, International Baccalaureate, or Military Credit, you should see this credit appear on your UB DARS report beginning in January 2007. If you believe you have credit from these programs and it does not appear by the end of January, please contact your Academic Advisor for appropriate action.
For information on the types of alternative credit accepted at UB, refer to the Undergraduate Catalog at http://undergrad-catalog.buffalo.edu/policies/alternative/index.shtml.

Ever heard of the field of Geospatial Technology? Well according to a website called Career Voyages, hosted by the US Departments of Labor, and Education; Geospatial Technology along with Biotechnology and Nanotechnology are emerging industries within the US economy.
Two areas are identified under Geospatial Technology: Photogramettry and Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). If this area sounds interesting, you might want to take a look at UB’s Departement of Geography. A good introductory course for this area would be: GEO 120: Maps & Mapping.
