REMINDER:
Pre-Enrollment for Spring 2009 virtual courses will be in October. I
will begin sending you an email mid-September to remind you to
set up an advising appointment. You will be required to
complete a phone advising appointment prior to course approval
for spring pre-enrollment. Please plan on completing this 15-minute
appointment before your pre-enrollment date. Your pre-enrollment
will not be approved prior to your completion of an advising
appointment. If there is some reason that you cannot complete
a phone advising appointment, other arrangements will be made
in order to complete an advising appointment.
