ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OF IMPORTANCE
GRIZ CARD
A Griz Card, the official University of Montana identification card, is necessary to access services such as Campus Recreation, Mansfield Library, PTS (Presentation Technology Services), Athletic tickets, ASUM elections, select computer labs, Mountain Line bus, Dining Service meal plans and residence hall doors. The Griz Card is automatically validated the day after fees are paid or the first day of class, whichever occurs later.
To obtain a Griz Card, present a valid I.D. and $15 at the Griz Card Center located in the University Center 124. There is a replacement charge in the event of loss, damage, or change of name or I.D. number. The replacement cost is $10. If a Griz Card is stolen or misplaced, it must be reported immediately to prevent unauthorized use. The student is responsible for any activity on the Griz Card until it is reported lost or stolen. For more information, call 243-MYID.
PARKING DECALS
A parking decal may be purchased by selecting the Parking Link in the Student Services and Financial Aid section of CyberBear at http://www.umt.edu/CyberBear. Decals purchased online will be mailed to mailing address. You can verify your mailing address by going to the Personal Information section of CyberBear and selecting Update Address(es) and Phone(s). Decals purchased online will be charged to your student account.
You may also purchase a parking decal directly at the Public Safety Office, Building 32, behind the Washington-Grizzly Stadium or at GRIZ Central in the Lommasson Center.
When picking up a parking decal, students must provide:
- Vehicle year, make, style and color
- Vehicle license number and state that issued it
If you purchase the decal online, print the temporary permit and display it on your dash while waiting for the decal to arrive in the mail. The temporary permit is valid for two weeks. If you do not receive your decal within two weeks, please call Public Safety at (406) 243-6131.
College of Technology students pick up parking decals from the College of Technology cashier and should not select a decal on CyberBear. Permits are issued at the COT cashier at no additional cost.
CLASS ATTENDANCE AND DROPPING COURSES
Students who are registered for a course but do not attend the first two class meetings may be required by the instructor to drop the course. This rule allows for early identification of class vacancies to permit other students to add into classes. Students absent and not allowed to remain must drop the course by CyberBear or turn in a drop slip to the Registration Counter in Griz Central or the Registrar's Office at the College of Technology to avoid receiving a failing grade. Students who know they will be absent should contact the instructor in advance.
Please note: Neither the Registrar's Office nor the Instructor drop students; rather, the students must execute the drops themselves.
GRADES
Spring 2008 grades may be available by using CyberBear after May 21. The student's Identification Number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) are required. The initial PIN is the student's birth date - (mm/dd/yy). This is entered as a six-digit number. For example, for a student born January 9, 1975, the PIN is 010975. For extra security, students are required to change their PIN to another six-digit number when logging on to CyberBear .
Autumn 2008 grades may be available by using CyberBear after January 2, 2009.
