    CHES Connect

    The College of Human Environmental Sciences embraces the web’s ability to connect CHES with our students, faculty and staff, alumni, supporters, and prospective students. Part of that initiative is to offer new ways for our audience to interact with us on the web via the use of the most popular social networking tools on the web, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, Flickr & iTunes U.

    Now you can get the latest information, connect with CHES and with other students, alumni and staff, interact with great streaming video content, and more. Add CHES to your social networking tools and help create a community of CHES supporters.

    Computer Services

    The College of Human Environmental Sciences has three instructional computer labs and one open computer lab, which provide supervised environments where students may gain knowledge and experience in computer applications. The labs also supply CHES faculty with state of the art computer facilities and training to aid teaching and research activities.

    HES Open Computer Lab:
    135 Adams Hall Hours: Monday – Thursday 8:30am – 11:00pm
    Friday 8:00am – 4:30pm
    Sunday 2:00pm – 10:00pm

    Instructional Computer Labs include:
    203 Child Development Resources
    115 East Annex
    310 Doster Hall

    The labs are monitored by student lab assistants to help students and faculty with troubleshooting general software and general hardware problems. The student lab assistants will not do computer projects for other students. All students are expected to do their own work and learn how to use the various software programs on their own.

    2. Under Banner Self-Service, click the link “Letter of Transiency.”

Be certain your desired course actually has a UA equivalent. After using the tables, if you are still uncertain, please visit the Transfer Course Equivalency Homepage at https://ssb.ua.edu/pls/PROD/rtstreq.P_Searchtype.

    1. Once you have chosen your course(s), click “continue” to proceed to the final screen.
