Advising Advice (for quick email response)

If you are a student that has me as your assigned advisor, I
advise you to follow these steps to do course registration
and plan of study as easily as possible.

0. Check and make sure I am your advisor.  The pairings
change regularly.  If I am not your official advisor
there is little I can do eo help you.

1. Course registration:  If you know the courses for which
you intend to register, please just send me email with

	a. your name
	b. your student ID#
	c. your chosen courses

and a request to lift your bar.  This usually can be done in
less than 48 hours with notification by email response.

2. Plan of study:  Find the form for your degree on-line at
http://www.engr.uconn.edu/, then click on 'Undegradaute Programs'
and then 'Plans of Study'.  Download the form and fill out
as much as you can.  Usually you will be able to complete this
on your own as it is highly constrained and is primarily an
exercise in adding credits into the right boxes.  I then suggest
you leave a single draft copy in my departmental mail box on
the 2nd floor of ITEB.  Be sure your email is on it !!! 
(Keep a copy for your reference.) I'll review and respond about any 
problems.  Once finalized, you can create two originals in ink,
sign both, drop again in my mail box and I'll forward into the
approval system.  Of course, the busy times are towards the end
of the semester, so please plan accordingly.

3. Experience shows that these are most efficient for both me and you.
If there are problems that cannot be resolved via email, then
an appointment can be scheduled.
