Welcome Back!
We're in the home stretch now... May is fast approaching! There's still lots of time left in the semester, and still many things to do. Check out these important dates and events!!
Summer and Fall Pre-Registration Begins April 4 for seniors. Others after that.
You know the drill. Make an appointment to meet with your advisor in advance of your registration date. If you need to get admitted to your major or need a waiver to register, plan to meet with your advisor at least a week in advance of your registration date. If you need a minor approved, do that first. If you have a minor in the business college (MKT, for example), it usually takes two weeks to get an appointment with the business advisement center. So, contact them ASAP and get an appointment before your COM advisor appointment (or after as long as it's before your reigstration date). The turn around for all paperwork requests (waiver, admission, etc.) is 24 hours. Again, plan accordingly as I need that time to review every request individually. We have over 300 majors, so you get the idea.
