If you plan to take classes at USF in January 2009 read the following message:
• If you are a current USF student with a hold because you have courses in progress at MCC …
or
• USF is waiting for final grades from an applicant from MCC to make an admissions decision…
…YOU NEED TO request your transcripts as soon as the term ends to ensure that the transcript is sent prior to MCC closing for their break.
Why?– MCC is closed from December 22-January 4. USF’s classes START January 5th!
Questions? Call and speak with the academic advisor for your major or an admissions advisor at (941) 359-4330.

Help us help you!
Hello!
It has been very busy the past few weeks. Our Fall semester is in progress and we are gearing up for our next group of new students. I’ve spoken with several students lately that face what I think all of us deal with at one time or another…Challenges.
Life can be challenging at times and that includes college. Speaking specifically about college…there is help out there.
If you have financial concerns about how to pay for tuition be sure to speak with a financial aid advisor. If you are attending MCC the number to call is (941)752-5309. If you are enrolled at USF Sarasota-Manatee or will be in the next term call (941) 359-4459. There may be scholarship opportunities you are not aware of.
If you are an MCC student who has problems with math (or have been avoiding it as long as possible) I recommend contacting one of MCC’s Academic Resource Centers (ARC). There is one at MCC Bradenton (941-752-5504) and at MCC Venice (941-408-1452). The ARC can help you! Here’s a link to their website: http://www.mccfl.edu/pages/144.asp
What I am really trying to say is if you have questions or need help; there are resources at MCC and USF Sarasota-Manatee that may help. Contact us.

New resources available for MCC students!
Well, I am very happy to inform you that there are some new resources available to you!
As of this week the 2+2 website (www.sarasota.usf.edu/2plus2) was completely revised and should be more user friendly.
Also, with the help of MCC staff members we developed an online community group in MCC’s ANGEL™. Why is this a good thing?
I’ll speak for myself and a lot of students when I say that while websites are great sometimes it can be hard to find what you are looking for.
The goal of our group “2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee” is to bascially merge information and resources. Hopefully, by enrolling in the group and exploring you will find what you are looking for with minimal time and effort. With the additional of a calendar and announcements we can communicate essential information to you.
For more information on the types of resources included visit the 2+2 Resources page.
MCC students can enroll in the group by following these instructions:
· Login to ANGEL™ using your MCC email and pin
· Enroll in the 2+2 group:
1. Under "Community Groups" select "Find a Group"
2. Leave the fields blank and select "Search"
3. Locate "2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee" and select "Enroll"
4. Then select the “2+2” group and start exploring
· Access the resources through the 2+2 USF Sarasota-Manatee community group any time.
Non-MCC/future MCC students may view 2+2 resources through temporary access.
Guest access user name: 2plus2guest
Guest access pin: 1234
Not all resources may be available when using temporary access.
Please explore the new 2+2 site and the 2+2 community group in Angel!
As new resources and information become available I post an update.

What questions do you have?
Visit our new prospective student website to find out more: www.sar.usf.edu/prospectivestudentsJuly 21, 2008
Welcome to our new blog!
Are you wondering what we’ll be talking about?
We will be posting information about admissions for transfer students. We plan to share the information that you might be interested in and need to know. From time to time we’ll include reminders about the application deadlines, invitations to attend one of our information sessions, and we will also share our experiences. Forgive us if we digress every now and then…
The USF Sarasota-Manatee campus is an upper-level campus. What does that mean? We do not offer freshman or sophomore level courses. Students who plan to attend USF Sarasota-Manatee need to have at least 60 transferable credit hours or their A.A. from a Florida public community college.
We refer students who don’t quite have the 60 transferable credit hours to Manatee Community College. USF Sarasota-Manatee has a great relationship with MCC and both institutions want to see you succeed.
You should be aware that the advisors at USF Sarasota-Manatee specialize. So, if you are a business major, you should talk to one of the business advisors. If you are an education major, you need to talk to one of the education advisors. The USF Sarasota-Manatee advisors are happy to meet with future students!
I’m about to jump on my soapbox…
My personal and professional opinion is that ANYONE considering earning a degree (whether it’s the A.A. at MCC or a bachelor’s degree at USF Sarasota-Manatee) should meet with an academic advisor at both schools every semester and, the earlier the better. Please don’t wait! I’ve met with many students who think they are ready for transfer and are not – that is not the news you want to hear. Meeting with academic advisors at both MCC and USF Sarasota-Manatee can help prevent those situations.
…Getting off my soapbox
Rocky’s Rules
Rule 1: New posts may take approximately 24-48 to show up in the blog.
Rule 2: Play nice with others.
Rule 3: If you have a sensitive question that you want to keep private – do not post to the blog. Contact one of our advisors at (941) 359-4330.
Rule 4: We will do our best to respond with as much information as possible but there may be times when we will refer you to a specific advisor.
I’m sure all of us have had someone come up to us at some point and say – “I just have a quick question.” Sometimes it really is a quick question – a lot of the time it is not. A lot of questions have answers that are more complicated than you may expect. Since every student’s situation is unique we want to be careful to give advice that fits your situation but will also benefit others.
We will not be addressing super detailed transfer questions in this blog. If you have a question be sure to post it – just don’t be upset if we have to respond more generally than you would like. In those situations we will direct you to the person who can best help you with your question.
