Welcome to the second week of classes! We have two important announcements.
1) NRES will be conducting the 2015 Annual Review during the month of February. You will be sent information on January 30th. Completing the designated Annual Review form and including the required attachments is a compulsory exercise for all online graduate students. For guidance on how to complete the form we will host an online advising session on Sunday evening, February 8, at 6:00 pm CST. You can join the session by going to: https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?password=M.19C11EA0056D5D3BC3797830F6AFA1&sid=407 There will be ample time for questions at the end of the brief session. The deadline for submitting the completed form is February 23rd.
2) We wish to share the following information from the Registrar's office with all online students.
"By the 10th Day of Classes, February 2, Graduate Students should be correctly registered for spring term 2015. It is important to check your registration before February 2 on Student Web Self Service to make sure that you are registered for the courses that you are attending and attending the courses for which you are registered. If necessary, make corrections by adding and dropping courses to your schedule before the 10th day of classes, February 2.
In addition, the 10th day of classes, February 2, is the last day to do the following:
- Drop courses to reduce your number of credit hours you are registered for to a lower tuition range and receive a refund between the two ranges
- Add a semester course without permission
- Submit forms to Audit a semester course
- Add a first half-session course
Students should be registered appropriately no later than February 2 in order to avoid possible issues with:
- Tuition/Fee Assessment
- Financial aid
- Loan deferment
- Health Insurance
- Academic Record/Graduation issues"
For those of you in the northeast, please stay warm and safe as you prepare for the "blizzard-like" conditions that are anticipated.
Best wishes,
Renee
