The End is Near!
The snow's finally here, just in time for the semester to come to a close. There are two short weeks of instruction left before the dreaded finals week. Get your ends tied up now so you don't end up cramming (too much) for your exams!
On that note, be sure to stop by RSS before you leave for the break if you need help! Our office will be closed from December 25th through January 4th.

Ordering Tanscripts
Final grades will be posted by your instructors on December 24th. If you need to get an official transcript for any reason, be sure to order it on UAOnline after this date so it will show this semester's grades.

Ugly Sweater Party
 Start off your weekend at RSS with a Positive Connection Night! You'll be surrounded by friends, activity, and good food!
We only have one PCN left, and it's a party! We'll be celebrating the holidays with a series of Minute To Win It games and a lovely dinner. Make sure to bring your ugly sweater, as the ugliest will get a prize.
Please join us in the Gathering Room on December 12th at 5:00pm!

Visit our tutor page to figure out where and when tutors are available in your subject.
