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.
