Course Evaluation Period Opened Monday, April 22

To: Ringling College Full Time and Visiting Full Time Faculty, Part Time and Long-Term Part Time Faculty, Acad. Affairs Assistants
Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2024
Subject: Course Evaluation Period Opened Monday, April 22

All Ringling College students are expected to complete course evaluations at the end of each semester. These evaluations provide constructive feedback for improving the curriculum, course content, faculty teaching methods, the facilities, etc. Course evaluations are completed via an online system called Watermark Insights. 

Watermark Insights opened to students Monday, April 22 at 8:00 a.m. and will remain open until Wednesday, May 1 at 11:59 p.m.

Students can access course evaluations via links in emails sent from the course evaluation system or via Canvas. When a student selects a course in Canvas, a pop-up automatically alerts them that a course evaluation needs to be completed. There is an option to take the survey later, and if selected, the pop-up appears until the course evaluation is completed. 

Please explain the benefits of course evaluations to your students and allow them time to complete their online evaluations. Studies show a direct link between response rates and the extent to which faculty support and encourage students to participate in this process. 

Course evaluation results will be available to faculty Tuesday, May 7 at 8:00 a.m.

If you have any questions, please forward them to vpaa@ringling.edu.

Thank you!

Date: Monday, April 22, 2024
Subject: Now Open! Annual Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Forms


As a reminder, all domestic students must submit a waiver or enroll in the student health insurance on an annual basis. International students are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan and do not need to take action. International students who wish to waive must complete a paper waiver form each year. 

In June, you will begin to see a health insurance fee on your student account for the health insurance premium of $2,010. The charge will be removed after your waiver for the 2024-25 year has been submitted. Please note: It may take 3-5 days for the charge to be removed from your account.

The deadline to submit a waiver is Friday, August 23, 2024!

If a waiver is not submitted by August 23rd, you will be automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan. Once enrolled, you will have coverage for the year retroactive to August 1st, regardless of other insurance you may also have. For additional information about the plan, please visit universityhealthplans.com/ringling.

Questions? Please contact University Health Plans at info@univhealthplans.com or call 1-833-251-1145.

Advance Notice Internet and VPN Outage

 

Ringling Logo Ringling Announcements


From: Institutional Technology
To: Ringling College Students, Staff, Full Time and Visiting Full Time Faculty, Part Time and Long-Term Part Time Faculty
Date: Monday, April 8, 2024
Subject: Advance Notice Internet and VPN Outage

Institutional Technology is planning to replace the campus firewall on Wednesday, May 15th starting at 7:30am.  We expect the work to be completed by noon that day.  During this installation, the campus (including main campus, museum campus, and Post Production) will lose internet access as the connections are migrated to the new hardware.  This will also impact access to the VPN.  We will do our best to minimize the outage.

We are migrating from a single firewall (single point of failure) to a redundant setup.  We will be adding additional malware protection to help protect the campus network.  The new hardware is also substantially more powerful than the current firewall which will ensure we can continue to meet the growing needs of our campus.

If you have any questions or concerns with this planned maintenance, please contact us by emailing support@ringling.edu
