Advising Week Nov 3-6

This is Advising Week so plan to meet with your faculty advisor to discuss your academic plans and progression. Choose your courses for the spring semester. Review your requirements for graduation.

If you don’t have an advisor or can’t reach your current one, you may meet with a faculty member this week in the CA lobby, first floor from 10-2 and from 4-7.

In addition, if any students plan to graduate this upcoming Spring 2015 or Summer 2015, they don’t want to miss this very important workshop entitled “Crossing the Finish Line” on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 3:00pm in CA 302.
