Hello Bio Majors!

Welcome back and happy Spring '10 Reg Day!  It's been pretty quiet around
here this winter, so we're looking forward to seeing you!

Remember to meet with your advisors today to have your reg forms signed -
they are to be turned in today by 5pm to du Pont gym (W31); after today they
go to Student Services in 11-120.  The absolute deadline to register is 5pm
this Friday ($40 late fee after that).  Please make every possible effort to
contact and meet with your advisor *directly* to have your registration form
signed!  Detailed instructions for registration can be found at

*Seniors, please note that the deadline to apply for June degree candidacy
is also this Friday!*
