Spring 2021 Advising
It’s time to sign up for Spring 2021 Advising Appointments. Because of the craziness of the semester and the number of classes I’m teaching, I’m going to have to do 15 min appointments. Don’t worry – if we don’t finish everything, then we can schedule a follow up meeting.
For signing up, follow this algorithm:
- if (you == Dec 2020 Graduation Candidate)
- We don’t need to meet unless you specifically hear from me.
- else if (you == May 2021 Graduation Candidate) && (you.know(exactly what classes you need to complete your degree))
- You do not need to sign up for an advising appointment
- Send me the list of classes you think you need to complete your degree requirements via EMail (NOT Slack)
- It is your responsibility to double check all of the degree requirements and UC requirements to ensure you’ve completed them or will have completed them based on the courses you plan to take next semester.
- If you have questions, you’re more than welcome to sign up for an advising appointment.
- else
