STUDENT AFFAIRS
• During the last two weeks, at least two different scams have targeted UA e-mail accounts. These “phishing” e-mails claim to be from “UA Support Team” or “UA help desk” and instruct you to reply with your user name and password. In each case, you are threatened with the deletion or disabling of your e-mail account if you do not comply. No one from The University of Alabama will ever ask you for your e-mail user name and password. If you receive this type of e-mail, delete it. Simply receiving the message does not mean that your account is at risk. If you have replied to a message like this, send e-mail to security@ua.edu or call the HelpDesk at 348-HELP (4357) immediately.
• Recycling available on the Quad on game day. Fans attending events on the Quad on Nov. 15 are encouraged to drop off their game day recyclables at a tent east of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library. Plastic, aluminum and cardboard will be accepted at the tent from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. UA employees and SGA volunteers also will distribute blue recycling bags to individual groups tailgating on the Quad. Cardboard, aluminum cans, plastic cups and food wrappers, and other types of plastics, including ice bags, can be recycled.
• Tide Text Alerts keeps you informed of severe weather conditions. In the event of local severe weather the University places weather information online at http://uanews.ua.edu/severeweather.htm. Also, faculty, staff and students are encouraged to sign up for Tide Text Alerts, a free service sponsored by the UA Office of Student Media in cooperation with the University. Those who sign up receive text message updates delivered directly to their phones. In particular, they receive real-time alerts from UA’s Emergency Operations Group if severe weather or emergency situations happen on campus. To sign up, go to myBama and click on the Tide Text Alerts link.
• Donate your unused football tickets and win prizes! Those who donate will have a chance to win one of these great prizes: A-Day tickets in the Zone, a football autographed by Coach Nick Saban and UA bowl game tickets. If you are not going to the game, please do not let your ticket go to waste. Let your fellow students share the tradition.
