Advisee/Advisor Meetings

Students and advisors should touch base after spring break to discuss the following topics:

• MID-TERM GRADE ESTIMATES - available on-line March 12
  • discuss Us and ways to bring grade up into passing range
  • if necessary, discuss whether dropping a course is an option given the impact on full-time status for the semester (3.25 units), class standing, advancement towards graduation, and semester/cumulative gpa
  • address X estimates which note that students are registered but not attending
  • inquire about NR or Q estimates to determine students sense of how they are doing
  • explore reasons behind grades of D, F or I in first-module courses
    
  • remind student-athletes that they need to be enrolled in the appropriate .25 course to receive credit for participation in a winter or spring varsity sport
    
    
• SPRING SCHEDULE CHANGES - complete blue add/drop form by Friday, March 28
  • add second module courses; classes start immediately after spring break
    
  • drop courses (3.25 unites required to stay a full-time student)
    
    

Table 1.
Advisee/Advisor Meetings for Fall 2008 Pre-registration

Below are the pre-registration deadlines and make-up dates for students within each class standing. Class standings for each advisee are noted on the yellow pre-registration forms that advisors receive from the Registrar's office along with midterm grade estimates.

Also on the yellow forms are notices if students have a hold on their account for financial or immunization reasons. If such a hold is listed please remind students that their registration will not be processed until the holds are removed.

To learn more about their financial holds, students should contact Pam Venters in the Student Accounts office at UNIV 018 (x3362).

For information about their immunization holds, students should go to the Wellness Center in Stuyvesant Hall or call x3160.

** After pre-registration ends, you may add a fifth course or make changes in your schedule
between Friday April 18 - Friday, April 25.

Some students may want to add a second-module class for spring semester. Since these classes start right after midsemester break, it is important that students attend the class during the first week and secure written permission from the instructor to add the class.

Table 3.
Procedure for Withdrawing from Full-Unit Courses

After receiving midterm grade estimates and consulting with their professors and academic advisor, some students will decide to withdraw from a full-unit course in which they are currently enrolled. At mid-semester, there is still time to do so but students need to be careful they are enrolled in enough units (3.25) to remain full-time for the semester.
