If a document prints out with strange formatting, it may be happening because the student is printing directly from a print preview. Hopefully downloading the document first, and then printing, will resolve any issues.
As a heads-up to anyone who wasn't here during last tax season, the 1098 forms can be found in SIS. Most students know this, but I've had a few come and ask already this month.

New Website
Have you seen our new GSU, Perimeter College website? https://perimeter.gsu.edu/ I love the aerial views of each campus and the movement of water and people on the intro pages.
And I also admit that it's hard to find stuff there.
Probably the most helpful URL for you to bookmark is for our library: http://depts.gpc.edu/library
It will still be the default on most of our library computers. From there, everything will seem familiar. IF you forget the direct URL, the most elegant way to get to the library homepage from the https://perimeter.gsu.edu/ website is to select either "Student" or "Faculty & Staff" from the top banner. Perimeter College Libraries are in the first column of links for students and the third column of links for staff. I'm so please we have such a prominent place in both set of links! The search box in the top banner also lets you limit to pages within the old GPC structure & works pretty well.

Free Online ENGL 1101 Textbook
A free online textbook for ENGL 1101 is result of a collaboration between English faculty and librarian Mary Ann Cullen. President Rob Watts challenged faculty to find a way to reduce costs for students. This free text is one answer to that challenge. Additionally, the USG has a program called Affordable Learning Georgia, which promotes open access resources for students. Perhaps best of all, our students appreciate the savings.
Several Dunwoody professors have adopted this text for use in the spring. You may get questions from students about it or be interesting in taking a look yourself. Students will have direct links to the text in iCollege. Here's a link for you to use: http://guides.gpc.edu/ld.php?content_id=14663081
If you'd like to know more about the development and use of the book, have a look at Mary Ann's guide: http://guides.gpc.edu/ENGL1101Textbook
