NOV. NEWSLETTER: FEATURE: New SOURCE Space Student Resources


The SOURCE is continuing to update its student resources available in the new SOURCE space in the Ferguson Center, with exciting new updates for November!

This month’s updates include: a new copier policy, new lockers for student organizations, and the arrival of laptops and iPads available for 24-hour renting.

The new copying policy mandates that each student organization can apply to have 400 copies/year for $20 dollars out of FAC accounts (Financial Affairs Committee). Visit sga.ua.edu for information on FAC accounts.

To sign up for a copy code for use in the SOURCE space, go to SOURCE under the Campus Life tab in myBama, login under the student organization, and click forms > student organization copies. Once the online form is completed, the organization’s president is emailed a code for that organization’s use. Organizations can use the copier in the SOURCE space anytime the Ferguson Center is open. Copies are black and white only, but colored paper is available.

Thirty lockers on the third floor of the Ferguson Center are also now available for student organizations. Organizations can enter into a random drawing to receive a locker for by again visiting myBama, clicking the Campus Life tab, logging in under the student organization, and clicking forms > source lockers.

Organizations must enter the drawing by Dec. 1st, and are not guaranteed a locker just by entering. The locker will be the organization’s for a two-year period and must be updated or the organization will lose it.

Finally, laptops and iPads have finally arrived in the SOURCE space! Both Dell and Mac laptops and iPads are available for 24-hour rental. Students must sign a rental agreement stating that they are responsible for the equipment and its return. (Full information on the rental agreement is available in the SOURCE space).

Laptops can be rented at the SOURCE space during SOURCE office hours, which are from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Laptops MUST be returned by end 24 hour period, or student is subject to late fees. Students may also make reservations in advance, but arriving 15 minutes after reservation time results in forfeit of reservation. SOURCE must be contacted one hour prior to reservation. 

We look forward to seeing students use these exciting new resources! For more information, contact the SOURCE at source@bama.ua.edu or come by the SOURCE space.
