Faculty members are provided with parking passes. If you taught at UMSL last year, your parking pass will expire at the end of October. Please register your car(s) online. You will receive a temporary pass until the new passes are available. Parking is available in lot JJ (nearest to our building), along Laclede Lane (as posted), and in Parking Garage KK (near the College of Nursing). Additional parking is available in Lot XX (north of the Villa Building) and Lots WW and VV (in front of Marillac Hall near the Metro-link station). Parking does "settle down" after the first few weeks of the semester. Please contact Alexandra for Handicap Parking options. If you drive an unregistered vehicle to campus, you can print a one-day temporary parking pass using the same link.
The Honors College requires that you place your syllabus on Canvas for your course. In addition, please submit a digital copy to Alexandra. Thank you in advance. If you would like any assistance with the construction of your syllabus, you should contact Kim Baldus, Associate Dean.
Canvas is our current online course management system. MyView is our Student Information system and also the place you will post grades.
If you have any concerns regarding textbooks or desk copies, please let Alexandra know.
There is a Xerox copy machine in C106 you may use for your printing and scanning needs.
Please call or email Alexandra Gresick and Kim Baldus if you need to cancel your class. Alexandra can post the cancellation, along with any notes you might want to make regarding the class. Please use Canvas to announce any unplanned absences to your students as well.

If you need to reserve a room other than your regular classroom (including the Honors College Kitchen and Libraries), please let Alexandra know.
