From the Mail Bag

Question:
Does your computer department build and sell computers with a warranty so that if something breaks down you would be able to fix them right there and we would not have to send the computer away somewhere?

Answer:
No. We do not build and sell new computers on site. However, UWGB students are entitled to discounts from various computer vendors.

We signed up to have our freshman's books gathered by the bookstore personnel and boxed up and ready for her when she comes to orientation. Can you tell me when the cost will be applied to our checking account? Will we find out the total cost via email or mail ahead of time?

The payment will be applied between August 14-18. If you provided an e-mail address at the time of purchase, you will receive the total cost summary via e-mail.

Can you tell us how we get the beds lofted in the dorm rooms? Is it the maintenace staff? or an outside firm? How and when is it scheduled?
