Berklee Groove - Student Voice - Website Now Live

Our student "newspaper" is no longer a paper! The completely digital version of the "Berklee Groove" is now live!

Check out the site here. It comes with excellent writing, twitter feeds, all kinds of links to gigs and happenings in Boston and a super cool calendar feature so students can be sure to catch all the great events on campus. This is a major accomplishment in an extremely short period of time by some very committed students, supported by Berklee staff. Congratulations to all...

IMPORTANT CHANGE AFFECTING BERKLEE ACHIEVEMENT SCHOLARSHIP PORTFOLIO ON BERKLEEMUSIC.COM

Berkleemusic.com has introduced a new Berklee Music Network, a social network for creative exchange and communication, collaboration, networking, and discussions. The new format for the online profile changes the look and feel of the profile page to be more like facebook and allocates more server space for each profile page to allow students to upload significantly more files than the previous 10 gig limit. All Berklee students are automatically "Pro" level members and have full access to all the new Network features. Please visit this link to get an overview of how it works:

http://www.berkleemusic.com/welcome/how-to-use-network

Students who currently have a Berklee Achievement Scholarship portfolio posted on BerkleeMusic.com will need to manually transfer all files from their old page to their new page in order to allow anyone including the Office of Scholarships to view the full content of their profile. When you log into your existing account, you will notice that the layout and some features of your page have now changed.

To access the content from your old profile page click on “Profile” at the right top of your home page and then read the message at the top of your new profile that states:

“This profile is now the version that the public sees. Fill it out! Have some fun.
If you need to refer to content from your old profile, you can access it here.”

Click on “access it here” to download your content and save it onto your computer desktop. You must now switch over to your new profile layout and upload all content into the new layout.

If you need technical support please contact the BerkleeMusic customer service at (617) 747-2146.

Online Time-Sheets Are Now Live for Student Employees!

Paper time-sheets have been replaced with a new web-based online time-sheet system on my.berklee.net. Starting with the current pay period - Saturday, September 26th - Friday, October 9th - Student Employees should log into my.berklee.net and start recording their time worked each day using the online time-sheet. At the end of the pay period, students must electronically sign their time-sheet and submit it for approval by their supervisor. The deadline for students to submit their time electronically is 2PM on the Friday before the pay date. This is a change from the previous 4PM deadline Berklee had for paper time-sheets.

Student Employee Supervisors will log-in to my.berklee.net to access the time approval form at the end of each pay period and they will approve or adjust the time that their student employees submit electronically. The deadline for supervisors to approve time is 5PM on the Friday before a pay date.

For further details, please visit the Student Employment website at: http://www.berklee.net/se/SE_WebTime09.html

Here's how you can contact Student Employment directly if you have any questions or concerns:
