[bioundgrd] Midterm Advising Meetings

[MacKenzie Outlund]

Hello Biology Majors,

Mid-term is coming up already, which means that it's time to schedule
your (required!) mid-term advising meeting.

Please get in touch with your course 7 advisor soon to arrange an
appointment between Wednesday, April 4th and Wednesday, April 18th
(<--- drop date!). Plan for around thirty minutes, but be sure to tell
your advisor if you'd like more time.

Mid-term advising meetings are for discussing your progress this
semester and any issues that may be impacting you personally or
academically.  If you intend to drop a course (or add a UROP for
credit), please take care of that with your advisor during this
meeting. (Add/Drop forms are available in Student Cervices Center,
11-120; Registrar's Office, 5-119 or here in the Bio Ed Office,
68-120.)  You might also want to talk through possible plans for your
future and get input from your advisor.

I hope you'll find that your mid-term advising meeting leads to better
communication and a closer relationship with your advisor.  Remember
that you are always welcome to request additional advising meetings at
other times during the semester.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Good luck
with the mid-term crunch!

Best,

MacKenzie Outlund
