Priority Registration and Excellence Awards Nominations Oct. 1 2010
HI everyone,
Wow!  Can you believe it is October?.  Time for Midterms and Pre-registration for Spring term already!!!!
MIDTERMS = Make test reservations EARLY.  WE are already having to search for more space on campus for exams and if you are NOT signed up (even if the professor drops off an extra test for you) we may have  to turn you away, if we don’t have space already for that day - -  space is reserved a minimum of a week in advance as it takes that long or longer to find a place!!  Readers and Writers can take longer!  Get us the information now so we can help you!
If you are getting this email you have been approved for PRIORITY registration for Spring 2011.
You should see Thursday Oct 19, 9 AM as the time you can register for Spring Term.  That means you need to make an appointment to see your ADVISOR NOW so you will have your AVN number available to help you register for classes on October 19.  The ONLY classes that will be closed are classes that are restricted to MAJORS only.
