Academic Dishonesty
Students are expected to adhere to the University's Code of Conduct (https://studentconduct.unl.edu/student-code-conduct).
Grade Appeals
In the event of a dispute involving NRES or WATS course grades, the student must first appeal to the instructor and, failing resolution with the instructor, to the SNR Undergraduate Committee (undergraduate level course) or SNR Graduate Committee (graduate level course), and then to the SNR Director in writing (in that order). If a satisfactory solution is not achieved at the School level, the student may appeal his or her case through the appropriate College Grade Appeals Committee using that body's process.
If a grade is appealed to the appropriate SNR Committee, the instructor must provide a written justification for the awarding of the grade. The student shall provide an account of the grounds for the grade appeal and evidence that the student has sought to resolve the case in consultation with the instructor.
Students appealing a course grade must do so within one semester (Fall or Spring) following the grade.
Policy or Policy Decision Appeals
A student wishing to appeal an NRES, WATS or SNR policy or policy decision must first discuss with his or her academic adviser the policy or decision in question. If a satisfactory solution is not achieved with the adviser, the student may request a decision from the SNR Undergraduate Committee (undergraduate student) or Graduate Committee (graduate student) and then the SNR Director (in that order). If a satisfactory solution is not achieved at the School level, the student may appeal his or her case through the appropriate College Dean's Office, using that body's appeal process.
Students appealing a policy decision must do so within one semester (Fall or Spring) following the decision.

ESRI ArcGIS is the most demanding software being taught in SNR classrooms. The software only runs on Windows-based computers, but it can be used on Apple computers with Bootcamp or Parallels (See SNR IT support for detailed instructions). SNR computer labs have this software installed and accessible to all SNR students 24/7. N-Card is required to access the labs after hours.
Here are the recommended specs for Windows laptops or desktops:
- Windows 10 64-bit
- Core i5 or above
- 8GB of RAM
- 250 GB Hard Drive (or SSD) with at least 30 GB of free space
Here are the MINIMUM recommended specs for Macbooks or Apple desktops:
Windows 10 and Parallels licenses can be purchased at discounted prices from the Computers Store on City Campus Union.
Go to https://ccsfgis.org/workshops-other/2016/8/18/installing-arcgis-on-a-mac for detailed instructions for installing ArcGIS on your Macbook or Apple desktop. NOTE: If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, please stop by the SNR IT Support office (HH 226) or UNL Help Desk (Love Library's basement) for assistance.
Additional Purchase (optional)
Because of the change of less printed books to more online books and information, having a second monitor is recommended. This allows one monitor to have an assignment open and the second monitor to have the reading material displayed.

UNL Computer Use Policy
Access
Employees and students will claim their university computer ID and password through UNL's Information Service Department. The ITS Support will use that information grant access on any SNR computer in Hardin Hall, e.g., the 24/7 computer lab (HarH 162), the computer teaching classrooms (HarH 141 and 142), the conference rooms (HarH 202, 207, 209, 901), the teacher's podium in the classrooms (HarH 163 and 228), teaching wet labs (HarH 023 and 024), and the Auditorium (HarH 107).
Internet and Email Services
As part of the SNR Onboarding process, supervisors are asked to provide computer and software needs. The ITS Support will set up the computer and assist new employees with access to the internet, email, and printers.
After a new employee has been entered into the payroll system (SAP), the new employee will be asked to activate a UNL email account. Anyone with an appointment 6 months in length or greater must have a UNL email account. A supervisor may request that an employee with an appointment less than 6 months in duration have a UNL e-mail account.
Network
All computers in classrooms, conference rooms and the auditorium are connected to the same network. When logging onto those machines, the same drives are accessed, based upon the login.
Each person has access to a P drive (personal drive), which only they can access by logging on with their ID/password. If the person does not have a P drive, the Computer Specialist will created. Z drive, which all SNR Employees access; the Z drive is erased every Sunday morning. Regular employees will have access to an S drive, which is used by SNR administration to provide employees with their job description, training records, course evaluations, etc.
Files saved to any networked drive, except the Z Drive, are backed up nightly. To recover a backed up file, contact the Information Technology (IT) group.
Purchases
To provide optimum efficiency in computer support, SNR will require that all computer purchases be made through SNR Computer Support personnel and will be eligible for Tier 1 service. ITS Support will maintain 99.9% or greater security for P drive, S drive, and network drives. Computers purchased without involvement of SNR Computing Support will be eligible for Tier 2 services; it is recommended that an outside business/person is used for software purchases and installation.
In an effort to raise awareness for safety of individuals, university property, and personal property, the University of Nebraska Police Services Department and the Division of Student Affairs invite all students, faculty, staff, and visitors to review UNL policies on:

From time to time, all beings face challenges. Whether it’s hunger, shelter, finances, identity, discrimination, emotions, sensory, social, psychological or just uncertainty in our life course—we all face challenges. At times, we manage these challenges beautifully, at other times we may struggle, and at times, we suffer at the weight of these challenges. If you are feeling unsure, weighed down, or just want to be sure you are on track, we encourage you to reach out. Look at Big Red Resilience for events and resources to help you bounce back. https://resilience.unl.edu/. Other possibilities include:
Food and Shelter Needs
- Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to visit the Huskers Helping Huskers Pantry
The pantry is a free resource with food and hygiene items. Any current student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who is in need can stop by the Huskers Helping Huskers Pantry to pick up free food and hygiene items and/or to get help connecting to university and community resources related to food and shelter insecurity. pantry@unl.edu
- If you live close to East Campus, ConnectioN Point near 33rd and Holdrege has the Open Shelf food pantry https://www.connectionpointlnk.org/food-pantry

Poster presentation format has be mired in the same old format for eons. Mike Morrison suggests a new type of format with benefits both the presenter and the viewer.
The design consists of three main areas
- Bold large main points allow viewers to get to the meat of the research quickly and move on to the next poster.
- A sidebar with more detailed discussion/graphics allows the viewer to dig in deeper to the posters theme if the author is not present or engaged with another viewer.
- Another sidebar is a detailed area for the presenter to keep track of key points or items they want to use in their interaction with a viewer.

Getting Started
Your poster will be created on one slide in a PowerPoint file.
The Pixel Lab needs a file that’s set to your custom page size for proper printing. Therefore, the very first thing you should do is make sure your slide size is the size you want your poster to be printed.
This poster is 48 inches x 36 inches. If your poster needs to be a different size either download one of the other templates or change this file’s document size.
Design Tips
To prevent cropping when printing, be sure there is nothing important, such as text, within 1" of the edges of the poster.
The colors that you see on your computer monitor will not reproduce exactly the same on a printed poster, as monitor color settings vary. Inform us of any important colors.
Download the template to get the complete set of design tips and development process.
